A Night to Remember: the Blue Moon Event on Tamborine Mountain

Sat, 09 Sep 2023 09:34:01 GMT

Now a highlight on Tamborine Mountain community’s social calendar, the Blue Moon Event is not to be missed. Held at the Cauldron Distillery off Long Road, the setting and surrounds were sublime along with the generous hospitality.

Volunteers ensured all were well fed with the delights of the great Australian BBQ and entertainment ensued with the chilled vibes and sounds of local Australian Country Artist Dane Sharp.

Worth noting Dane is nominated for "Most Popular NEW Independent Australian Male Country Artist" and his current single is nominated for "Most Popular Australian Independent Country Single be the Independent Country Music Assoc. Vote for Dane at https://social-media.au/DaneSharp

Everyone thought the event would be dashed by a late cloud cover and yet the weather gods prevailed and just as the moon was rising the clouds disappeared ensuring a sensory delight for all to soak up.

Thank you Tamborine Mountain for your kind hospitality and thank you to the team at TMU for putting on such a wonderful evening.

Tom Sharp for Mayor 2024

Thu, 24 Aug 2023 02:01:34 GMT

Tom Sharp announced today that he will run for Mayor of Scenic Rim in the local government elections to be held in March next year.

“I’ve made this decision following strong and persistent encouragement from a wide cross-section of residents who say they want a cessation of hostilities within the council chamber and an end to the toxic culture embedded within its bureaucracy,” said Mr. Sharp.

“They have made it abundantly clear that they believe something is drastically wrong with the governance of our region during the last four years under the leadership of the current Mayor.

“Four years that have been marked by never-ending, politically motivated and spurious ‘conflict of interest’ claims by the Mayor, which many concerned residents in our community are describing as a debilitating assault on the democratic workings of Council that nullifies their divisional councillor’s capacity to properly represent them in the chamber.

“Even the State Government deemed it necessary to appoint a Governance Advisor to the Council last December to oversee its conduct.”

Mr Sharp said incompetence, legal costs, inefficiencies, and never-ending ‘internal naval gazing’ had cost ratepayers millions in waste and wasted opportunities.

“If elected as Mayor, a major focus for me will be the elimination of waste and a concentration on productive outcomes by leading a united council that spends and delivers on time and within budget.

“I look forward during the next six months to meeting with as many people as I can throughout Scenic Rim and discussing those issues which are important to them.”

Queensland local government elections are scheduled to be held on March 16, 2024.
