New Inala Study Hub: Bringing University Education Closer to Home

A new Suburban University Study Hub will help Inala students overcome some of the barriers that make higher education challenging, providing respite from long commutes, facilities and equipment for use, and even career advice.

A Study Hub Made for Inala Locals

The Inala Study Hub is a space designed to remove the barriers that prevent many suburban students from reaching their full potential. Rather than offering a formal education program, the hub provides study facilities, internet access, video conferencing, computer facilities and break out areas.

It’s a place where students can get practical support with academic writing, research skills, and navigating the often confusing world of university administration. But it’s also a place where they can find guidance on their career paths, gain confidence, and connect with other students.

The Inala Study Hub initiative is part of a wider effort to ensure university opportunities are available to those living in the outer suburbs. Along with Inala, other suburbs like Fairfield, Mt Druitt, Emerton, and Beenleigh will also gain their own study hubs.

Overcoming the Challenges of Higher Education

In outer suburbs like Inala, university participation rates are typically lower, but not due to a lack of talent. For many, the practical challenges of higher education are what hold students back.

The Inala Study Hub changes all that. By offering students a space to study locally, the hub eliminates the need for long commutes, making it easier for students to stay focused on their studies without feeling disconnected from the university experience.

“Almost one in two young people in their 20s and their 30s have a university degree today. But not everywhere,” Minister for Education Jason Clare said. “I want this to change.”

As for Assistant Minister for Education Anthony Chisholm, “Where you live shouldn’t decide whether or not you can get a degree.”

Support Beyond Just Study

The hub will offer mentoring, career advice, and wellbeing services to ensure students can thrive academically and personally. Whether it’s a high school graduate taking their first steps into university, a parent returning to study, or someone looking to upskill, the hub is there to guide them.

The community-driven nature of the hub ensures that students can access the support they need in a familiar, welcoming environment. No more long hours spent commuting, just a local place to learn, grow, and achieve academic goals.

Looking Ahead to More Opportunities

The Inala Study Hub is just one part of a broader initiative to make higher education more accessible across Australia. As more hubs open in outer suburbs, students from all walks of life will be able to access the education they deserve, without the usual barriers in their way.

Parkinson-based custom food specialist Kitchen Daddy provides comprehensive manufacturing solutions from recipe creation to packaging, playing a vital role as innovative Brisbane businesses pursue international growth.

Supporting Local Ambition

Brisbane’s reputation as a place for food and beverage businesses to turn ideas into reality is growing, supported by initiatives designed to help local companies expand globally. Brisbane Economic Development Agency’s (BEDA) Future Food Global Accelerator programme provides personalised support and connections with industry experts.

The month-long programme, running again in February 2025 and now in its eighth year, assists businesses in overcoming challenges on their path to global success. Lord Mayor Adrian Schrinner noted that the city’s food and beverage scene contributes significantly to Brisbane’s appeal as a place to live and work, adding that supporting local businesses to reach global audiences is a priority. Since beginning in 2018, BEDA’s Future Food Initiative has assisted over 400 businesses.

Kitchen Daddy, located in Parkinson, contributes to this local capability. The company works closely with clients, managing the entire food manufacturing process. This includes developing recipes, producing the food, organising packaging, and even providing consultancy on supply chains and purchasing. Kitchen Daddy focuses on using natural ingredients and creating customised products tailored to client needs, investing in research and development rather than offering generic solutions like larger factories.

The team features an executive chef with experience in top Tokyo restaurants, bringing special expertise to recipe development, particularly in authentic Japanese cuisine. However, they also create popular dishes from around the world. Kitchen Daddy produces items under its name, such as Cauliflower Cheese Croquettes and Southern Style Tenders, as well as specialised Japanese products like Karaage Chicken and Pork Korokke through its Kyoto brands.

Their modern facility in Parkinson can handle both small custom orders and large-scale production, delivering shelf-stable, chilled, or frozen food solutions for commercial and institutional food service outlets. They also manage private and white label packaging, ensuring compliance with Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ).

Brisbane’s Strategic Advantage

Brisbane offers distinct advantages for manufacturers aiming to enter international markets. According to BEDA’s State of the City report, the city’s advanced manufacturing sector is growing five times faster than the national average. Its location provides direct access to the vast Asia-Pacific market, which represents a $90 trillion GDP and nearly half of global trade.

Australia’s largest Valencia orange grower, Grove Juice, is participating in the 2025 Future Food Global Accelerator cohort. The company chose Brisbane as its headquarters, attracted by the city’s skilled workforce and closeness to major ports. Grove Juice CEO Greg Quinn explained their efficient process, noting that citrus picked one day can be juiced the next and shipped shortly after.

He described Brisbane as an excellent city for growing a world-class business due to its location and skilled workers. Mr Quinn also stated that joining the Future Food Initiative will provide connections with experts and resources to speed up growth and help the company expand into new markets globally, positioning Grove Juice well for opportunities like the Brisbane Olympics.

Shade Sails Coming to Killarney Street Park as Part of City-Wide Playground Upgrade

Brisbane kids will soon have even more sun-safe places to play, with Killarney Street Park in Forest Lake among the final playgrounds to receive new shade sails.

The Brisbane City Council is in the final stages of its three-year program to install shade at 150 playgrounds, protecting young children from the harsh Australian sun.

Protecting Kids from the Sun

The council’s “Sun Safe Suburban Playgrounds” program is a major initiative to create cooler and safer play spaces for children. Lord Mayor Adrian Schrinner said that as a father of four, he understands how important it is to shield children from harmful UV rays. He added that these upgrades will allow kids to play outdoors for longer while staying protected.

Since 2022, the program has already installed shade sails at 116 playgrounds, with the remaining 34, including Killarney Street Park, scheduled for completion by the end of June 2025.

Community Benefits

Councillor Fiona Cunningham stated that playgrounds are vital hubs for fun and imagination in local communities. She noted that the council is dedicated to improving these spaces for younger residents. The shade sails are designed to cover the entire play area, providing relief from the heat during the hottest parts of the day. The council believes these upgrades will make local parks more accessible and comfortable for families.

Ongoing Investment

The council has invested significantly in this program as part of its commitment to enhancing Brisbane’s lifestyle. The Lord Mayor said this investment is a key part of their ongoing efforts to improve public spaces in suburban areas. The council has also indicated that they will continue to add shade to more playgrounds in the future as part of their regular budget planning.

Pallara Residents Demand Action on Power Outages and Infrastructure

Pallara is grappling with frequent power outages and lagging infrastructure, leaving residents frustrated and demanding action from local and state governments.

Power Problems Plague Pallara

Recent power outages have again highlighted the ongoing reliability issues facing Pallara residents. A recent outage, reportedly caused by a fallen tree on a power line, is just the latest in a string of disruptions. Community members report that these repeated outages are unacceptable and significantly impact their daily lives and businesses.

Local representatives have acknowledged the community’s concerns, with one representative stating they sympathise with the frustration and disruption caused by the outages. They confirmed that they have written to Energex and the State Energy Minister, seeking urgent action to address this persistent problem.

Residents are being encouraged to contact the Minister and Energex directly, outlining the impact of these outages on their households and businesses, further to amplify the call for a reliable power supply. It has been noted that the local Member of Parliament has also contacted Energex to request an explanation for the repeated power failures.

Infrastructure Struggles to Keep Pace with Growth

Beyond the power issues, Pallara’s rapid population growth has significantly strained existing infrastructure. Residents and local representatives have voiced concerns about inadequate road networks, limited public transport options, and the need for improved school safety measures.

One local representative has been actively engaging with Council, meeting with Committee Chairs and raising Pallara’s infrastructure needs in Council meetings. They have also written to the relevant Council representatives to advocate for investment in road upgrades, improved public transport, and safer school zones.

Residents feel that Pallara has been overlooked regarding essential services, which is unacceptable given the suburb’s rapid expansion.

Community Advocacy Efforts

Local representatives are urging residents to join the call for improved services. They encourage community members to directly contact relevant State and Council representatives to express their concerns and demand action. While some representatives have acknowledged limitations in their direct control over energy infrastructure, they have pledged to continue advocating for the community’s needs.

One representative has also addressed concerns about their communication on social media, explaining that their account is often subject to delays on some platforms and that their focus on community meetings and events limits their time online. They have encouraged residents to contact their office directly via email for a more timely response.

Looking Ahead

Pallara residents are now looking to both Energex and the State Government to provide concrete solutions to the ongoing power issues. They are also calling on Council to prioritise infrastructure development to ensure it can adequately support the growing community. The community must ensure Pallara receives the essential services and infrastructure to thrive.

Pallara Preps Triple the Excitement for First Day of School

The first day of school brought triple the excitement for the Patels of Pallara, as three-year-old triplets Mizaan, Matilda, and Miraya eagerly began attending Pallara State School.

They especially looked forward to using laptops, learning to read, and making new friends.

The Patel triplets are just three of an estimated 12,000 Mater babies expected to begin their school journey across Queensland this week. Their story is unique: They were born prematurely at Mater Mothers’ Hospital in South Brisbane on 27 September 2019 and spent their first month under the dedicated care of the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.

The triplets’ birth was rare. Like the Patels, naturally occurring triplets have a one-in-10,000 chance of happening. Adding to the uniqueness, Matilda and Miraya are monochorionic diamniotic twins, meaning they are identical and share a placenta during pregnancy, each having an amniotic sac. This type of twinning within a triplet pregnancy is even rarer, occurring in approximately one in 20,000 cases.

Born at 34 weeks and three days gestation, the trio arrived within minutes of each other. Mizaan led the way, followed by Matilda, and finally Miraya. Due to Matilda’s slightly smaller size, doctors decided to deliver the triplets early to ensure her healthy development.

As their children prepare to enter the classroom, parents Priyanka and Vrujal Patel are experiencing a mix of emotions. While they admit the house feels much quieter, they are pleased the triplets will be in the same class. Mrs Patel believes the girls will watch out for their brother, as they share a close bond, evident in their enjoyment of activities like swimming and gymnastics.

Mrs Patel describes her children as having distinct personalities that will keep their teacher on their toes. Mizaan, the social butterfly of the group, loves the outdoors and exploring new places. Matilda, known for her kindness and gentle nature, enjoys creative pursuits and spending time with loved ones. Miraya, the youngest, has a mischievous streak and a knack for getting her way.

The Patel triplets will mark Pallara State School with their unique personalities and shared history.

Forest Lake Raises Red Flags in Brisbane Food Safety Report

Forest Lake has emerged as an area of concern in Brisbane City Council’s latest report on food safety despite having a relatively small number of food venues.

Food Safety in Forest Lake — *Photo Credit: Pexels*

The suburb received a disproportionate number of infringement notices in 2023-24, raising questions about food-handling practices in the area. Brisbane City Council reveals it was responsible for 100 percent of Queensland’s food safety prosecutions last year.

Council data shows that across Brisbane, 47 food businesses faced court action for serious breaches of food safety standards. These violations ranged from the presence of cockroaches and rodents to inadequate handwashing facilities. In two instances, cockroaches were discovered in the food, while rat droppings were sighted at 14 venues.

One establishment was found to have a rat’s nest on the premises, and another had a live rodent caught in a trap.

Cr Sarah Hutton, Chair of City Standards, acknowledged that while most of Brisbane’s food businesses maintain high standards, safe food handling is crucial for public health. She emphasised the importance of the hospitality sector in contributing to the vibrancy of the city’s suburbs.

Brisbane City, Fortitude Valley, Sunnybank Hills, and Upper Mount Gravatt recorded the highest prosecutions, fines, and complaints. However, Forest Lake stands out, given its low number of registered food venues compared to the high number of infringements.

Dr David Harley, a senior specialist in Public Health Medicine at Queensland Health, reminded the public that unsafe food handling and inadequate cooking can lead to bacterial infections such as salmonellosis and campylobacteriosis. He stressed the importance of properly cooking chicken to prevent campylobacter infection.

Dr Harley also noted that viruses, particularly norovirus, are a common cause of gastroenteritis, especially among young children.

Brisbane City Council offers local businesses free food safety training and resources to promote compliance with regulations and best practices. This information is available on the council’s website.

Creek and bushland rehabilitation.
Water quality improvement initiatives.
Habitat connectivity and wildlife protection.

These efforts align with the project’s broader goals of sustainability and ecological resilience, ensuring Larapinta continues to thrive as an environmental asset.

New Site Needed for Forest Lake Men’s Shed After Lease Non-Renewal

Photo Credit: Forest Lake Men's Shed

The Forest Lake Men’s Shed, a cherished community hub for local men, is urgently seeking a new home as their current lease, which expires on 31 January 2026, will not be renewed.

The group, currently based at a site leased from Arethusa College at 25 High St, has received confirmation from the college’s Head Office that the lease will not be extended beyond the set date.

For the past 18 months, they have been in discussions with BCCl about relocating to the Ellen Grove Park precinct.

Forest Lake Men's Shed needs new home — *Photo Credit: Forest Lake Men’s Shed*

The Importance of the Men’s Shed in Forest Lake

The Forest Lake Men’s Shed provides a welcoming and secure environment for men to engage in meaningful activities or simply socialise. Many members find solace here, addressing issues such as loneliness, depression, and isolation, particularly after personal hardships or retirement.

The organisation’s dedication to promoting “mate-ship” has fostered a strong sense of belonging among its diverse members. Through a variety of activities, from community projects to personal hobbies, the Shed enhances health, productivity, and mental well-being.

Proposed Site in Ellen Grove

The group has identified land within the Ellen Grove Park precinct, behind the carpark between Waterford Road and Coriander Street, as a suitable new site.

While the city officials have designated this land for sport and recreation, the Men’s Shed argues that its activities align with recreational purposes. Additionally, the proposal includes plans to introduce a Women’s Shed, extending the benefits to a broader community base.

Forest Lake Men's Shed — *Photo Credit: Forest Lake Men’s Shed/Facebook*

Community Reaction and Support

Local residents have voiced their support for the Men’s Shed, highlighting its vital role in the Forest Lake community. Social media discussions have reflected frustration over the sale of the current site, with many believing it was always intended to serve as a community centre.

A petition advocating for a new site has already gathered over 570 signatures, demonstrating strong community backing for the relocation effort.

Next Steps and Future Implications

The Forest Lake Men’s Shed is urging supporters to sign their ePetition, which will remain open until 30 April 2025, to encourage city officials to secure a new site. With time running out before the current lease expires, securing an alternative location is crucial to ensure the continuity of this valuable community resource.
