Mayor Karen Williams Lies About SEIFA Rankings On SMBI

One thing that I found interesting in the Chamber of Commerce "Meet the Candidates" events on the weekend is when the Mayor said that the SMBI had a SEIFA ranking of 3. This is extremely... well, I was going to say misleading, but I think more "outright lie" is appropriate here. Let me delve into this a little so we can all understand the issue here. The SEIFA Ranking is the Socio-Economic Indexes for Areas as obtained from the latest 2016 Census data. It ranks areas across Australia on their Socio-Economic status in a number of ways. There are a number of ways these areas can be defined, one of which is the Local Government Area (LGA) and another is SA1 (or down to the finest level of detail available). And here's a comment from the SEIFA 2016 Technical Paper: "The primary unit of analysis and the smallest area for which the indexes are available is the Statistical Area Level 1 (SA1). This is the recommended unit of analysis for SEIF...

Councillor calls fro City Plan review

Wendy Boglary is absolutely correct here. What's been done with Weinam Creek, what's being proposed with Toondah Harbour, what's happening with Shoreline, what's happening in Alex Hills... Basically, we can summarise the current Redland City Plan as "Create a concrete jungle replacing all our wetlands and wildlife". Nobody I have spoken with is happy with the way our current Council is heading, what they are doing to the Redlands, and what's been done this past 4+ years. We need a change to community-lead representation in Council. And we need that as of March 28th. https://www.redlandcitybulletin.com.au/story/6653940/councillor-calls-for-city-plan-review/

Candidate for Redland City, Division 5, 2020

Image
The Redlands inspires and challenges. I first saw the red colour of its fertile soil some 30 years ago as a young man when my mother, and aunt and uncle, purchased some land on Macleay Island (Alcheringa). Back then there was no real infrastructure on the Southern Moreton Bay Islands (SMBI). The mainland side of the Redlands, was starting to take off in terms of population, facilities and popularity. Macleay Island became my permanent home in 2015 although I’d worked in the Redlands for decades as an audio visual engineer, outside broadcasting technician and IT professional. I am community and wildlife focused and wish to serve on the Redland City Council as a Division 5 councillor. Division 5 encompasses part of Redland Bay on the bay side of Moogurrapum Creek across to Serpentine Creek Road and down Christopher Street to the waterline and the four Southern Moreton Bay Islands (Macleay, Russell, Karragarra and Lamb). All places I have worked or lived in and/or vi...
