This page has happened due to the meeting on 6th Dec 2016. It was a nice peaceful discussion about how quite a lot of people are opposed to 172 houses, because- not enough water, sewerage, creation of a slum, cheap houses, loss of the rural area, loss of Village feel, traffic increase, lack of facilities, hospital, school, no park area.
26 people attended, including the Mayor Joe Paronella and Cr Sam Banks.

🐾 A great start to our trial weekend!

We were delighted to welcome our local Member, Shane Knuth MP, to the first night of our trial yesterday.

Shane joined our members for dinner before staying on to watch the Obedience and Rally competitions — and of course we couldn’t miss the opportunity for a photo with the obedience jump he generously donated to our club!

Joining Shane in the photo are our Obedience Judge, Roel Wittkamp, and Sam Alexander from the Cairns City Kennel Club with her clever dog Mika. Sam and Mika also had a fantastic night in the UD ring, competing at one of the highest levels of obedience and earning an outstanding 199/200! 🌟🐾

Shane works tirelessly for our region, listening to local communities and advocating for the things that matter to the people who live here. We’re incredibly grateful for his ongoing support of our club and the wider Tablelands community.

And the trial isn’t over yet! 🐕🏃‍♀️

Today we have a full day of Agility and Tricks, with plenty of talented dogs and handlers in action.

If you’re wondering what dog sports are all about, come down, have a look and enjoy the action — spectators are very welcome!
