What a great meeting for a better Bellbowrie!
Approximately 200 local residents attended a meeting at the Bellbowrie Community Church tonight Wednesday June 9th to discuss how to make a better Bellbowrie. What a cracker of a meeting it was -- very positive and professionally conducted. Bellbowrie residents brainstormed on the kinds of shops and services they wanted in their neighbourhood. And there were pragmatic voices about the catchment of the area and what might be realistic. In particular there were calls to better cater for families with young children and teens, because Bellbowrie and Moggill are two suburbs in Brisbane with the greatest percentages of teens and young children. The nascent Bellbowrie community association, through shows of hands, gathered information about what percentages of people do their weekly shop in Bellbowrie and where else they choose to shop.
An almost unanimous resolution was that Residents wanted the local shopping centre to have more of a community feel, to encourage people to linger and socialise. Perhaps a playground where mothers could watch their children as they chatted over a cup of coffee. And people were keen on more greenery.

I totally agree with their being somewhere for kids and littlies to play whilst mums have a coffee, we need more greener too, and a proper mums room, i have to go home and leave the centre just to change my babies nappy, really silly as I am not staying to shop or eat....

Thank you to everyone that came to the meeting and the many more who have provided us with feedback over the last few weeks. We are currently compiling a Community Feedback Report which we hope to present to the Bellbowrie Plaza Centre Management and Tenants as well as make publicly available on the internet over the next ten days. For the 30 plus people who have offered their assistance in setting up the Bellbowrie Community Association, we hope to hold a meeting on Thursday 1st of July to get everyone together, review the report and plan out the next steps - more information to follow on this. In the meantime, please feel free to send any further feedback/comments to info@bellbowrie.org.
