Blue Care's development at Richmond Road Carina Queensland is non-compliant with the conditions imposed by the Planning and Environment Court of Queensland.
The Brisbane City Council appears reluctant to enforce those conditions.

School
Speed Zone Signs in Queensland
were mainly non-compliant with
Department of Main Roads'
Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices
• Design. Uniformity in design includes the selection of
the appropriate sign shape,
colour, size, legend or symbol, and reflectorisation or illumination if the
sign has
significance at night.
• Application. It is essential to denote similar conditions with the same
device, or group of
devices, so that road users can readily anticipate the course of action required.
To use a device in a manner inconsistent with its use elsewhere is confusing
and
consequently creates a potentially hazardous situation.
• Location. Uniform location helps drivers to notice the device and interpret
the situation
appropriately.

The Bligh Labor Government announced the upgrade of all school speed zone signs with a mainly uniform times of operation across the state.
Brisbane City Council can afford expensive legal council to prosecute you if you park on unsigned section of Brisbane's streets.
("There can't be signs everywhere,'' (Brisbane City Council) barrister Thomas Pincus told the court.)
If you see or know where there are faded or unreadable traffic signs please email me.

TOTAL Brisbane City Council signs FOUND photographed AND REPORTED SINCE 12 DEC 2010 is now 200
Do you travel in T2 lanes in Brisbane when you should not?
Do you always read the signs?
Can you read the signs?
Photo taken at 6.04 pm 10 December 2010 Official sunset was 6.38 pm
Sunset on June 7 until June 12 in 2010 was 5.00 pm.
Times of operation is 4.00 pm to 7.00 pm.
Could you read this sign after sunset with low beam headlights as the times are 2.5 m above the road surface..
What does Queensland Transport literature have to say about placement of traffic signage?
"Signs should be mounted clear or roadside
vegetation and clearly visible at night assuming
low beam headlights." RE:page 7 http://www.tmr.qld.gov.au/~/media/8d7f5fe0-f93b-4b2b-a9ee-eeb078747d14/trumvolume116.pdf
Yes I know that there is a mistake in the quote above but you will notice the quotation marks as that is the exact wording in the document.
Is this just good enough?
The Queensland Government's 'Solution to Pollution is Dilution'.
With this in their mind they have decided that,
the best filters for recycled sewerage and fluorides is
South East Queensland's human kidneys.
The results from chronic fluoride poising during tooth formation called Dental Fluorisis from groundwater in China containing 4 to 9 ppm fluoride.
The missing link in the energy puzzle
If your child is having trouble with school uniform compliance
don't expect the Director General of Education Queensland to be of any help.
The Director General can't even decide on shoelace compliance.

When the existing Dual Gauge Rail Line was built in most cases only back yards were resumed thus the noise from the freight trains was even closer to residential homes.
We expect that the second Dual Gauge Rail Line will require the resumption of most residential properties on the northern / western side of the existing Dual Gauge Line from Acacia Ridge through to Wynnum North.
Why you may ask?
They have no publicly available Public Consultation Policy Document.
Why do we want it?
So we can tell when they are not following policy.
What is wrong with ENERGEX present consultation?
Their vision of consultation is to tell you what they have decided to do to YOU
and you most probably have no chance in changing their decision.We have a copy of the Queensland Labor Government Policy Document on Consultation.
Please e-mail us requests for a .pdf copy.
Quote of the week:
As Øystein Dahle, former Exxon vice president for Norway and the North Sea, observes, "Socialism collapsed because it did not allow prices to tell the economic truth. Capitalism may collapse because it does not allow prices to tell the ecological truth."
Quote of the decade:
Anyone who believes exponential growth can go on forever in a finite world is either a madman, an economist or just a politician.
NO Golf Course in Bulimba Creek Wetlands
On Monday 3 Feb 2003 The Civic Cabinet of the Brisbane City Council (Queensland Labor Party) approved a submission to build a new golf course and 160 houses on BCC sport and recreation land at Cannon Hill.
This land adjoins Conservation Zoned land which is inhabited by Australia most dense colony of Squirrel Glider Possums.
The land on which the Golf Course is proposed is mainly a Conservation Grade Wetland / Flood Plain and much of the remaining land is covered by tree canopy and is prime Squirrel Glider land.
Many trees will be lost and any replanted trees will need to be at least 200 years old to produce hollows which provide homes for Squirrel Glider Possums.
If Queensland (Australia) is the "SMART STATE" Ms Premier,
then who is making all these STUPID decisions???
