Ormeau Ridge Early Learning Centre

Tonight we have crews assisting with a hazard reduction burn (13/07/2021 starting 7pm) at Fern Hill Drive, Willowvale🔥. Smoke will affect the Willowvale, Kingsholme/Montego Hills and Ormeau areas.
We assist landholders conducting hazard reduction burns (HRB) to reduce bushfire risk ahead of bushfire season. HRBs are conducted during favourable weather conditions to lessen fuel loads on the ground. 🍂 🍃
This is important work to protect people and property from the risk of bushfires. We work to minimise the potential impact of smoke, however nearby residents may need to close windows and doors.

MEDIA RELEASE❗️: ACA Qld calling on the PM for urgent help to save Childcare

Queensland’s peak body for childcare (early learning) services, Australian Childcare Alliance Queensland (ACA Qld), is again calling on the Federal Government to provide an immediate first-step solution to keeping the doors open so our young children can be cared for and educators can be paid.

The full media release can be found on the ACA Qld website

Be advised of water over the road on Hotham Creek Road at Willow Vale. Use Rosemount Drive and Waverly Drive instead.

Remember, if it’s flooded, forget it!
