Kerbside Rubbish Collection at Paluma – October 2019

Please note that TCC has scheduled the annual Kerbside Bulk Rubbish Collection at Paluma to October 2019.

The date for collection is yet to be confirmed by TCC but it will be posted to this website when the information becomes available.

Whilst on the subject of TCC, last Saturday (13 April) a dedicated team from Council attended to cleaning the area around the Community Hall, including the pavement, playground equipment, bbq’s, rotunda and the flagpole. The work team even tested and cleaned the flag pole in preparation for Anzac Day. The Council team was led by Mr. Michael Pine.

The PDCA and Paluma residents extend their thanks to the Council team for their hard work in making this area clean and presentable after the floods, and in preparation for the Easter long weekend and Anzac Day.

Ecologica Exhibition

On Friday evening  5th April Lynn & Les Hyland visited the TYTO Gallery in Ingham for the opening of their new exhibition “Ecologica”, comprising works by three artists : Heather Byrne [Pastel] ; Linda Bates [Clay] and, from Paluma, Sarah Swan [Glass]. Sarah has had a table at the Paluma Markets and her lead-light work is really spectacular. She had a great many pieces on display, in particular, her “Seahorses” took this writer’s fancy.

Sarah owns 18 Mt Spec Rd, and, following the death of Roy Mackay, has also purchased 77 Mt Spec Rd. which she intends to transform into a gallery displaying her work. This she tells us, is a work already in progress.

The “Ecologica” exhibition is open until May 5th 2019 and if you can, do make an effort to see it – time very well spent. TYTO Gallery is open from 10.00 hrs to 16.00 hrs.
