Firie update

This last weekend the Marburg Firies were competing again, this time in the Queensland championships. It was an exciting event for them with two out of the four team members having only been in the auxiliaries for about a year. Balancing this was Brad Dance’s 24 or so years of experience. Their goal was to finish in the top 10 places.

Out of 24 teams competing, Marburg placed 9th overall, which was a fabulous result and testimony to their hard work. They also ranked first in the SE & SW Queensland Region.

Ipswich City Council have recommenced community consultations regarding establishing a stables residential zoning adjacent to the residential area of Marburg township. A summary of action to date can be found on the Marburg community website.

This is a very important issue for the future of Marburg. The outcomes of this decision will determine the development of our town and its character and will impact upon our lifestyles. Please take a look at the information on the website and think about what it means for Marburg.

We will continue to report on progress on this issue.
