North Lakes

And now, Gary Hargrave comments.

We're really delighted to be here at Stella Rosser, the team here at North Lakes, for Project Pink to raise funds for the PA Hospital.

But this is an amazing high-growth area.

Everyone knows that.

It certainly is.

It's one of our jewels in the crown of the city of Moreton Bay.

Mango Hill, North Lakes, Griffin County area has grown significantly over the years.

It's got Westfield Shopping Centre, IKEA, Costco, everything's coming here.

So just recently, in fact, Prop Track identified a number of suburbs that have surpassed that $1 million price threshold.

And some of these suburbs, just for your interest, include Bald Hills, Zillmere, Tagum, Bracken Ridge, North Lakes, Redcliffe, Alexandra Hills.

I know a couple of those are outside of the Brisbane City Council region, but these suburbs have recently joined what we call the Million Dollar House Club.

So, you know, it doesn't go as far as it used to go.

The Chair of Cattle Australia, Gary Edwards, unpacked how producers are fighting back against creeping government regulations and pushing for an overhaul of the cattle transaction levy.

The Friday Forum dissected the news of the week with freelance journalist Nance Haxton and the owner of Resolve Finance in North Lakes, Chris Betsy Betts.

Our weather guru, Luke Bradlam, will join us with an update on the weekend weather, particularly for southeast Queensland.

We'll also dissect the news of the week with the help of the Friday Forum after 11 and today's panel.

It will include Chris Betsy Betts from Resolve Finance in North Lakes and freelance journo, Nance Haxton, who gets around a lot of Queensland.

We'll get their thoughts on the week, which has been the world awoke.

And future planning therefore must prioritise road and rail ring routes within the City of Moreton Bay itself.

I mean, we need residents to be able to travel efficiently along local hubs around North Lakes, Petrie, Morayfield, Redcliffe.

Why is it that locals always have to go onto the overburdened Bruce Highway? So I think investment now in the region's transport infrastructure is going to deliver a more liveable, connected community.

But when you look at the flooding that has been there today, You know that the failure to actually invest is now costing a lot of money today.

I was trying to work out what the PS meant, but...

Well, I've got some words that start with those for people that drive like that in this weather.

Okay, so what's happening in the world of sport? Because I've got to get to Troy from North Lakes.

He's got his rain gauge.

We should remain to beast this so we shouldn't sacrifice land to be honest at the rate that we do because it will continue to make us money because global food prices will escalate terrible news for the bottom 2 billion people of this planet but great news for a food exporter like Australia so that's a strategic mismatch we bulldoze barely but farmland we're not creating more farmland so that's a problem but that's how our cities grow because we're not adding more gold costs we continue to add our population into just These same few cities.

And in Brisbane, would you say the likes of, say, North Lakes, Burpingary, North as an example, Logan, Yarrabilba, you know, Ripley, all these super...

Just look at a map and you see that there is land to bulldoze.

And then you, in a sense, the problem here is that we build property first and then worry about infrastructure because the private sector develops faster than the public sector.

Heading north,

unless you are in North Lakes.

This clue's geographical.

It has been on the bucket list for 10 years.

Isn't it

It's not that far.

I live, as you know, on the very south side of Brisbane.

I've got to get into places like Everton Park and and North Lakes over coming weeks.

I'm already planning ahead.

I'm thinking, well, maybe I should get a hotel room at Nambour because it's just so hard to get around Brisbane.
