Issue No. 274 – FEBRUARY 2019
Call for Lamington Rd Connection to Anzac Ave
With the population of the Village rapidly expanding
through town house developments and the number of
vehicles using Kinsellas Road West increasing by
degree, the need for the Lamington Road to Anzac Ave
connection as an alternate entry off Anzac Ave, is fast
becoming more critical with decisions needing to be
fast-tracked.
What is known, is that over 300 Townhouse Units have
been added or are currently under construction in the
western corridor of the Village in the past two years. A
further 375 units are either approved or under
consideration for vacant land along Kinsellas Road West
or Lamington Road.
A Moreton Bay Regional Council Spokesperson has
advised the Progress Association that “A decision on
what Agency (Developer or Council) will construct this
connection remains under consideration.”
The Progress Association remains in contact with
Officers of Council and the Developer, Philip Usher Constructions and will update the community when a decision is
made. This connection will also cater for the proposed 233 Household Development by the Philip Usher Constructions
along Lamington Road.
Traffic Safety Concerns for Village Roundabout
Drivers along Kinsellas Road West are urged to slow down as they approach the
two (2) closely located Roundabouts on Kinsellas Road West.
Residents are advised that Traffic Police have been actively monitoring Kinsellas
Road West in recent weeks.
Drivers are urged to give more consideration to their fellow drivers when
accessing roundabouts by:
1. Slowing down as they approach Roundabouts
2. Giving plenty of warning by use of “Indicators” as they approach
each roundabout.
At its February meeting on Wednesday night, the Association will consider a range of recommendations on Speed
Zones for Village Streets and Kinsellas Road West that will be forwarded to State and Local Governments.

ALINE AND MICHAEL MAKE MANGO HILL VILLAGE THEIR HOME!
Congratulations to Mary Street residents, Aline and Michael Clince, who celebrated both their Wedding and Reception
at the Mango Hill Community Centre on 19th January.
(From Aline)
We have been living in Mango Hill for just
over 3 years now and we are enjoying the
great country vibe around the area. It is
great to have community Centre very
close to our place that it worked out so
well for us to be able to get married just
200 meters away from home. The
facilities and all the amenities are so
helpful to the neighbourhood.
We really had a wonderful and
memorable wedding that we can treasure
forever.

Since 1986, the Progress Association has operated with
the core aim of “seeking to enhance the quality of life” for
the Residents of our Community” through the broad
principles of “God Helps those who Help Themselves” and “Maintaining Eternal Vigilance”.
During that time our Association has sought to work with other community
organizations and advocate to all levels of Government and Business. In short, our Association can only be as effective as
the range of committed volunteers who can provide time, effort and ideas to continue our work of the past 33 years.
Some Goals (amongst others that arise) for Mango Hill Progress Association in 2019: (You can add others)
• Maintaining a keen interest in the ever-changing landscape of an expanding Mango Hill community.
• Following up on a Management Plan for Halpine Lake - (see comment from Councillor Julie Greer)
• Connections of Lamington Road to Anzac Ave (opposite Capestone Blvd)
• Road Safety issues in local suburbs (where they arise) – Traffic speed and safety of Residents
• Encouraging greater use of Public Transport linkages to coordinate
• Continuing our social program of “Skate Nights” (Family nights) each term at the Mango Hill Community Centre.
• Continuing to operate the Mango Hill Community Centre on behalf of Moreton Bay Regional Council.

Greater Speeds allow Progress Association Admin to Operate!
For nearly 400 homes in the Old Mango Hill Village, the NBN became active in early February 2018, greatly increasing
the capacity of households to either gain access to the internet in the first place or to access
faster connections.
Since 2009, the Progress Association actively advocated for the NBN (or its predecessor) to be
connected to the Village. It took time. Yes, our Politicians are often criticised for in-action. In
this case, it is “Well done to our Federal Member, Luke Howarth and NBN General Manager,
Ryan Williams” (who spoke at our November 2012 meeting) for delivering this promise.
It should be noted that many areas are still awaiting connection to the NBN. Mango Hill is well ahead of many of the
“more established” areas of Brisbane. Hopefully, your experience with the NBN has been positive.
Note: Later in the 2019, (or 18 months after the NBN has been connected to households, many of the older
“Landline” connections may be under review as the “digital” age approaches.
