Sad to see Pallara being used again as a spot for people to burn out cars. Went to the park to take photos for my daughter of her and her kids to be confronted by an eyesore.

Does anyone know of any hauntings in the Pallara region? Just curious...
Also, does anyone have any information or stories regarding the Pallara monster? I believe the last incident involving the monster would have been a couple of decades ago!
Regards.

We saw a kangaroo (alive and well) on the side of the road at night as we drove along the back road to Pt Elliot last weekend (Queen's birthday).
We drove more carefully after that and it was a wonderful experience. The road is narrow and with the high beam on we could see the tree canopy above forming what looked like a tunnel. It was a bit spooky.

I ask you Cambell Newmann about your plan to plant 1 million trees around Brisbane over the next few years. How do you justify such a plan when your organization and it's local cronies..sorry councilors have no real regard for the wreckless land clearing being allowed around the Pallara region. Take a drive down Paradise Road and admire the many acres of pristine dirt unearthed by the removal of many hundres of acres of native bushland. Or, how the developers are sharpening their knives to hack into Pallara, which i now starting to happen with the 12 acres on Ritchie Road now up for tender, how far will your green plan swing once the rest of Pallara becomes another "lakeside community" and most of the original vegetation and homes for many of the already made scarce wildlife is eradicated to make way for your "greener Brisbane". Hang your head in shame Mr Newmann..because the greed, not Green is coming to a suburb near you.... Our suburb, Pallara.

I agreet totally what is starting to happen is what a famous radio announcer would say (SHAME SHAME SHAME)..where is it all going to end?
My family live on one of the four acre blocks and we would like to keep it that way having lived there for the last 38 years!
The one thing i used to say when driving down Ritchie Road opps i mean Gooderham Road
was how Green, Pallara always is! From living in an inner city suburb for the last 20 years it was a constant reminder knowing "my family home' was always going to be there! Seems like things are changing fast and once the changes ( or should i say improvements isnt that what we are told they are) start Pallara will never be the same again!
I always considered myself lucky being close to the city but living a country style exsistance!
The peace and tranqulity of growing up in Pallara looks to be a thing of the past!
I recall driving down Wadesville Street to be so surprised at the housing that seems to have been built over night and no more of the beautiful bush that we used to walk through as children! I do live in a concrete jungle and one thing i hope Pallara never turns into one!
Pallara has so much to offer..moreso than just the peace and tranquility! Its great to see my nephews running around on my family home's 4 acres and being able to grow and not be restricted to a small block and playing indoors! Growing up in Pallara was great!
Mother Nature has been here a lot longer than the goverment and Pallara has been like a retreat! But for how much longer...
What would you like to be looking at as you drive into Pallara...Nature at its finest or the beginning of CAN DO and his version of how to ruin a suburb without really trying!
I know which one im going to choose and who will have my vote come election day!
Come on PALLARA lets all work as a team and make sure your say counts!

Losing a pet can be the sadest most day in your life!
A pet can be a loved one and a part of the family more than just a pet!
Sadly my mums cat "PINKY" passed away on February 8 and i just want mum to know how brave she was that day in letting her beautiful cat go to Pet Heaven!
Remember all the good memories and there is now no more pain!
My mother is a legend when it comes to animals she has taken in countless cats over the years as well as feeds all the birds and even has made pancakes for one of the neighbours dogs!
She is truly an inspiration and Mum we all love you very much!
Keep strong and take a day at a time!
Love your 5 children that love you very much!

My name is Sean. My parents live in Pallara nearly two years. Pallara is a very nice community in Brisbane, but required to plan and develop in order to welcome community growth. Inconvenient transport system is a worst problem. No public transport as bus or train station, undesirable network of main roads and no shopping centre.
Hence I am interesting to see the new network planning in September news letter. The critical issue of network in Pallara is connecting with close community as Algester and Inala. Hence I feel the most important road plan is the link (from Sweets RD) to Nottingham Road (Algester) and linking the Brookside Rd through to Ritchle RD. That could produce the convenient in Pallara and good for develop public transport system in Pallara community.

In reading the questions canvassed at CPT, we should also ask: What community (other than sports and rec) facilities would you like to see constructed?
This could be library, community hall/auditorium/theatre, amphitheatre, chapel, etc.
I am particularly interested in hearing comments about community facilities that we would like to have.

I am interested to know how the planning process considers any registered native title applications and registered cultural heritage bodies in the Oxley Wedge area.
What do Indigenous people from the area have to say about its future?
When do we get to ask them?

Hello Kevin, Could you inform me of the sport and recreation organisations which hoped to use areas of the Willawonmg Remediation site when they open, please? As the general recreation representative on the Lower Oxley Creek Neighbourhood Planning Team's CPT, it is useful to know all potential users of the Willawong site to ensure there will be enough recreation and sport land for all users.

Just wanting to know the extent to which the development earmarked for the Brookbent Road area of Pallara / Willawong will impact the native bush / vegetation in that area?
I have witnessed many species of birds and animals, such as nesting eagles, Kangaroos (grey), gliders, bandicoots, ring tail possum to name a few..I am also aware of Koala sightings and Quoll sightings in the area, although rare.
To what, if any extent is the bush around this area protected from any sort of development?
And,what consequences have been explored as far as the effect of major development in this area on the Oxley Creek rejuvination plan?
