VALE - MAX LEWIS
It is with deep regret that we report the sad loss of Max last Friday the 16th at Greenslopes Hospital. Biggles has not heard from his daughter Michelle in the last few days but will ensure that notices appear on the boards when arrangements are made. His faithful little black dog “Skipper” has been well cared for and a lovely lady has volunteered to adopt and care for him.
(Max and Skipper could be seen walking the Island every day and Skipper was always on for a ride in our car if we happened to be passing.) We will miss him at the Library as Skipper always bounced in announcing that Max was on the way.

BAYVIEW ON COOCHIE – GENERAL LIQUOR LICENCE
Many Islanders will have read our notices and/or Biggles’ “letter to the editor” in the Redland Times of the 25th April 2008 advising that the Liquor Licencing Commission had REJECTED the application on the 26th of September 2007. An appeal by Consul Management to the Commercial and Consumer Tribunal reversed the decision by Liquor Licencing on 14th of March 2008 (amended 31st of March 2008).
A PUBLIC MEETING will be held with our State Member John English M.P. on Thursday 7.p.m. at the Community Hall 22nd May 2008, to express the Community’s concerns and to examine and minimise the impact of the decision on the Community. Islanders will be reminded of the date on the Notice Board.
Our Progress Association has investigated the possibility of applying for a review quote – “Section 35 of the Act permits the Tribunal to grant leave for fresh evidence to be presented on the appeal in certain circumstances” unquote. A number of factors, including legal costs, were taken into consideration and the majority decision at this stage was to take no further action. What we must realise is that a holder of a General Licence may apply (in the future perhaps) for up to three detached liquor outlets within 10km of the licenced premises. Many of us are able to visualise one of these outlets in very close proximity to the jetty for the benefit of the tourist trade – enough said !!!
