Caboolture’s Snakes Rugby Club Eyes Premier Grade by 2030 with New Leadership and Growing Junior Base

Caboolture Rugby Club has set its sights on Premier Grade rugby by 2030, backed by a new $6.4 million clubhouse, a 20 per cent year-on-year growth in junior numbers since 2023 and a new general manager bringing Premier Grade experience to Petersen Road.



The Snakes, as the club is known, have appointed Nigel Statham as general manager to lead the charge, with a strategic plan that maps a clear pathway from four-year-old beginners through to colts and eventually senior Premier Grade competition. The club also plans to appoint a performance director to support and develop its coaching staff. Statham describes this role as a move to “coach the coaches,” a step that adds a professional structure reflecting the seriousness of the 2030 ambition.

This season the club fields Under 12, 14, 16, 18 and Open women’s teams, and the goal is to have both men’s and women’s sides competing in Premier Grade alongside all junior teams playing in Brisbane Division One competitions by the end of the decade. It is an ambitious target for a regional club, but the foundations supporting it are more substantial than most.

Building the Pathway

The strategy at Caboolture Rugby Club rests on a simple but demanding idea: build a seamless pathway from the earliest junior levels through to the highest competition available, so that players who grow up in the Caboolture area never have to leave their club to chase elite rugby.

Rugby Operations Manager Sam Hoffman describes the club’s presence in local primary schools as central to that model. The club runs rugby programmes across most local primary schools and organises a competition for local high schools, many of which are traditionally rugby league environments. Bringing union into those spaces early, at a price point Hoffman describes as among the cheapest in sport, gives the club access to players who might otherwise never have considered rugby union as their game.

Statham points to the existing junior section, the backing of Caboolture Sports Club and the suburb’s extraordinary population growth as the three pillars that make the 2030 target realistic rather than aspirational.

A Void Worth Filling

One of the more compelling arguments for Caboolture’s Premier Grade ambitions is geographic. Premier Grade competition currently draws from clubs concentrated in Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast, leaving a significant gap in the middle of south-east Queensland’s fastest-growing corridor. Statham describes Caboolture Rugby Club’s ambition as becoming the Moreton Bay club, representing the entire region rather than a single suburb.

That framing matters because the Moreton Bay region is one of Australia’s fastest-growing local government areas, with Caboolture itself sitting at the heart of a population corridor that is projected to continue expanding well into the 2030s. A Premier Grade rugby club in that corridor would draw from a catchment that does not currently have one, which is both the challenge and the opportunity the Snakes are positioning themselves to seize.

Statham also notes the broader tailwind from rugby’s international calendar. The men’s Rugby World Cup arrives in Australia in 2027, followed by the women’s Rugby World Cup in 2029, creating a window of elevated public interest in the sport that the club intends to capitalise on through its junior growth programmes and community presence.

Admission to Premier Grade is not guaranteed by application alone. Statham is clear that the club needs to demonstrate consistency, build a winning culture and deliver a high-quality product on and off the field before the pathway to the top competition opens. Good programmes, good mentors and good coaches build the culture, and success brings the players.

Why This Matters to the Caboolture Community

For families in Caboolture and the broader Moreton Bay region, the Snakes’ 2030 vision represents something worth paying attention to. A club with a genuine pathway from primary school to Premier Grade gives young players in the area a local sporting home that can take them as far as their talent and dedication allow, without the disruption of switching clubs or relocating to Brisbane.

The club’s affordable pricing, primary school programmes and growing women’s competition all point toward an organisation that is thinking about community access rather than just elite outcomes. Junior numbers growing at 20 per cent a year since 2023 suggests the community is already responding, and the new $6.4 million clubhouse at Petersen Road gives the club the facilities to support that growth properly.

For Caboolture residents who want to get involved, more information on junior and senior registration, school programmes and the club’s strategic direction is available here.

Morayfield Dad Secures 20-Year Income Stream for His Son

A single father in Morayfield has secured a steady $20,000 monthly income for the next two decades, turning an ordinary workday into a life-changing moment and offering new stability for his young son.



The Moreton Bay resident held the only top-winning entry in a national draw, giving him a total prize of $4.8 million paid in monthly instalments over 20 years.

The win came as a surprise while he was at work, where he had been balancing two jobs to support his child. The father reacted with shock and excitement upon receiving the phone call, saying he had not even checked his numbers the night before.

He shared that his priority is his son, explaining that his long hours and multiple jobs had always been driven by a desire to provide a better future. With the new income, he plans to focus on setting up his child’s life and easing the financial pressure he had been carrying.

The winning entry was a 25-game QuickPick purchased through an official digital platform. The numbers drawn were 31, 37, 25, 15, 27, 14 and 10, with supplementary numbers 35 and 3.

Across the country, this was the only top-tier winning entry in that draw. It also marked one of several major wins recorded so far this financial year.

For this Morayfield father, however, the impact is immediate and personal. It’s a shift from long working hours to a more secure future centred on his child.

Construction Starts on Burpengary Precinct Featuring $13 Million Social Club

A multi-million dollar residential project in Burpengary is officially underway to provide 186 specialised homes for the region’s rapidly expanding over-50s population.



Construction Commences on Major Project

Photo Credit: DA 20260629

The start of this week marked a significant milestone for the Moreton Bay area as heavy machinery began work on the $160 million site. Located at 273-308 Buckley Road, the development is expected to take approximately two and a half years to complete. 

Project leaders expect the first group of residents to move into their new homes by the middle of 2026. During the peak of construction, more than 100 tradespeople and staff will be active on the site at any given time to ensure the project stays on schedule.

Focus on Local Infrastructure and Living

The development includes a $4 million investment into public infrastructure to support the increased activity in the area. This funding will cover essential upgrades to Buckley Road and the installation of a new set of traffic lights to manage local vehicle flow. 

The housing itself is designed for ease of use, featuring open-plan layouts with two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and double garages. To keep the focus on a relaxed lifestyle, the homes include alfresco areas and multipurpose rooms, with some premium options offering larger internal spaces and private courtyards.

A Social Hub for Active Residents

Central to the community is a $13 million facility designed to serve as a meeting place for neighbours. This hub will house a variety of recreational options, such as a swimming pool, a cinema, and a gymnasium. 

For those interested in staying active, the grounds will feature a pickleball court, a golf simulator, and space for water aerobics. These amenities are intended to help residents stay connected and healthy while remaining within walking distance of their front doors.

Meeting the Needs of a Growing Region

Local representatives and the project’s leadership team noted that about one-third of the Moreton Bay population is currently over the age of 50. This creates a strong demand for housing that allows people to downsize their responsibilities without leaving their familiar neighbourhoods or families. 

Early interest in the project has been high, with more than $5.7 million in sales already confirmed. In the first stage of the release, over 20 per cent of the available 38 homes were secured before they were officially available to the public.



Financial Model and Community Benefits

The project operates under a land lease model, which changes how residents manage their finances. Instead of traditional ownership, people purchase the physical house and pay a weekly site fee to cover land rent, security, and the maintenance of the shared facilities. This arrangement removes common costs like stamp duty or entry and exit fees. If a resident decides to sell their property in the future, they are able to keep any capital gains earned on the home. For many locals, this provides a way to stay active and social in a secure environment.

Three Cafés and a Mum’s Determination: Candice Kiss Named Moreton Bay Business Woman of the Year

Candice Kiss has built three thriving cafés across the City of Moreton Bay while raising five children, and last October the region’s business community recognised that effort by naming her Business Woman of the Year at the 2025 Moreton Bay Business and Innovation Awards.



The award, presented at a gala evening at Eatons Hill Hotel on 30 October 2025, was decided by a panel of 25 judges drawn from the public and private sectors, with 61 businesses competing across the night’s categories. Candice took out the award representing all three of her venues — Gather & Feast in Caboolture, Annie Lane Cafe on Bribie Island and Ruby Tuesday Café in Burpengary East.

For Candice, the win carried a weight that earlier accolades had not. She has collected national awards before, but being recognised by the community she has lived and worked inside — the people who watched her build, struggle and grow — landed differently.

From a Food Truck to Three Venues

Candice grew up in Bundaberg and left school at 16 knowing hospitality was where she was headed. She started her apprenticeship in the Whitsundays, working across a range of venues from franchise restaurants to five-star resorts, and by 18 had been recruited as head chef of a restaurant in Adelaide — before she had even finished her apprenticeship.

From there, her career took her to Cape York, Sydney and eventually Moreton Bay, where she put down roots. The pivot to business ownership did not come from ambition alone. When her husband Richard returned from a tour of Afghanistan and was medically discharged from the army, Candice became the family’s sole income earner — pregnant with their fifth child.

She and Richard renovated a food truck together and started trading. Gather & Feast on James Street in Caboolture grew from that foundation, built on her read of the local market: that residents commuting to Brisbane for work had city-level expectations for food and nowhere local that met them.

Annie Lane followed on Bribie Island in 2019, earning a reputation as an award-winning boutique café specialising in innovative brunch fare. Ruby Tuesday opened at 115–117 Buckley Road, Burpengary East in February 2025, with a deliberately distinct identity — more refined plating, a stronger focus on house-made produce and a menu Candice designed to stand apart from her other two venues.

Leading a Team of 35

Across three venues, Candice now leads a team of 35 staff. Many have been with her for six or seven years, a retention rate that reflects the way she runs her business. She approaches leadership as a human discipline — understanding what is happening in her staff’s lives and building rosters that accommodate real-world pressures — rather than a purely operational one.

That approach is shaped by her own experience navigating kitchens as a young woman. She began leading kitchen teams at an age when few took her seriously, and she had to establish her authority early. One of her staff members, Olivia Tulloch of Gather & Feast Café, also won an award on the same night — taking out the Employee of the Year category. It underlines what Candice has built: not just successful venues, but a workplace that develops people.

What the Award Means for Caboolture

Gather & Feast has won multiple community food awards including category wins at the Moreton Bay Forkies Eat & Drink Awards, and the business has been a consistent presence in the region’s award nominations since it opened. But the Business Woman of the Year title sits in a different category — a recognition of Candice as a leader and operator, not just of a café, but of a growing hospitality group embedded in the community.

For Caboolture, having a local business owner recognised at this level matters. The suburb sits within a region that is rapidly growing, and the presence of locally owned, quality venues like Gather & Feast signals to both residents and newcomers that the community has depth and ambition. Candice’s success also demonstrates a practical pathway: that it is possible to build a meaningful business in Moreton Bay without starting somewhere else first.

Gather & Feast is on James Street, Caboolture. Annie Lane is on Bribie Island. Ruby Tuesday is at 115–117 Buckley Road, Burpengary East. More about the 2025 Moreton Bay Business and Innovation Awards is available at moretonbaybusinessawards.com.au.

St Eugene College Students Shape Burpengary Community This International Women’s Day

Four young women from St Eugene College, Burpengary, are marking International Women’s Day on 8 March 2026 through acts of service that have delivered handmade comfort items to hospitals, mental health resources to school counselling offices, and fundraising support to families in need across the local community.



The students, Year 11 students Evie, Amelia and Kaitlyn alongside College Captain and Year 12 student Kya, each developed their own form of community contribution independently and represent the kind of youth-led civic action that International Women’s Day highlights each year.

Evie: 1,400 Felt Hearts for Patients and Families

Evie began hand-stitching felt hearts while her grandfather was receiving palliative care, wanting a practical way to offer comfort to her family and others in similar circumstances. The project grew steadily from there. When a former St Eugene College student experienced a serious football accident in 2023, Evie extended her work to include students, visitors and staff at the school.

She has since crafted more than 1,400 felt hearts, with items delivered to her school counsellor’s office, the Princess Alexandra Hospital and the Prince Charles Hospital. Two hundred hearts alone went to the former student Joseph and the people around him during his recovery. Each heart carries a simple message: that the person holding it is still loved and supported.

Amelia: Crocheted Creatures With Mental Health Messages

Amelia approached the same challenge of comfort and connection through crochet. Since 2023, she has made more than 60 small octopuses and jellyfish, each tagged with mental health messages and resource information. The items are placed in guidance counsellor offices and the school library, available to any student who needs something to hold during a difficult moment.

The project reflects a deliberate effort to make mental health resources approachable and tangible, particularly for students who may not seek formal support independently.

Kaitlyn: Vinnies Leadership and $2,000 in Fundraising

Kaitlyn has channelled her community commitment through the St Vincent de Paul Leadership Society, which is a structured program for young people wanting to make a difference. Despite her busy Year 11 schedule, she has volunteered in Vinnies stores, taken part in the CEO Sleepout to raise awareness for homelessness, and contributed to raising $2,000 for those in need. She graduated from this formal program in November 2025, carrying those experiences into her everyday leadership.

This individual contribution from Kaitlyn sits alongside a broader, school-wide achievement reached in 2025. During that year, the entire St Eugene College community in Burpengary worked together to raise $12,000 worth of food, toiletries, and gift items to support people in need within the local area.

Kya: International Women’s Day Celebrations for the Whole College

As College Captain in 2026, Kya has taken a school-wide approach to International Women’s Day. Working with staff and her leadership team, she developed a programme of activities designed to make the occasion actively empowering rather than purely symbolic. Students will have the opportunity to write messages of thanks to the women who inspire them, and the college will wear purple ribbons as a visible expression of support for the women in their lives.

Principal Louise Olley said the four students reflected St Eugene College’s founding values, noting that the college’s namesake was known for his expansive sense of compassion, and that the students demonstrated the school’s mission to enter to learn, dare to grow, and leave to serve.

Why This Matters for Burpengary

The work these four students have done connects directly to services and people within the local community. Felt hearts have reached patients at two major Brisbane hospitals. Mental health resources sit in the hands of students who may not otherwise access them. Fundraised goods have reached families in need in the Burpengary area. And a college-wide International Women’s Day programme is building a culture of appreciation and recognition among the next generation of the suburb’s community members.

Each student under 18 drove her own project, showing that meaningful community contribution in Burpengary begins with individual initiative. Whether they worked independently or through established organisations such as the St Vincent de Paul Society, these young women proved that impactful service requires time, skill and intention.

Further information about St Eugene College, Burpengary, including enrolment enquiries, is available at the college website. St Eugene College is located in Burpengary, within the Moreton Bay region north of Brisbane.

Bribie Island On Demand Transport Trial to Fill Gaps for Residents Without Fixed Bus Routes

Bribie Island residents will soon have access to a new on demand transport service covering all residential areas of the island as well as surrounding mainland suburbs like Sandstone Point, Godwin Beach, and Ningi, with local operator Caboolture Bus Lines confirmed to run the three-year trial at a flat 50-cent fare seven days a week.



The service addresses a long-documented gap in transport access on an island whose geography and demographics make car dependence a genuine hardship for a significant portion of the community. Bookings will be available by phone, online or via app, with early morning and evening runs designed to align with work and healthcare schedules.

The announcement carries particular weight for residents who live beyond the reach of existing fixed bus routes, which do not cover all parts of the island. The new on demand transport trial will expand the network into those areas and strengthen connections into the broader Translink system.

Why Transport Access Matters So Much on Bribie

The numbers behind Bribie’s transport challenge are striking. The median age on Bribie Island is 64 years, more than 28 years above the Greater Brisbane average, with the 65 to 74 age group making up 25.4 per cent of the population, well above the national average of 9.4 per cent. After the 2021 Census, over 50 per cent of the island’s population was aged 60 years and over, a concentration significantly higher than the national average.

For this community, losing the ability to drive is not a minor inconvenience but a direct threat to independence. The Bribie Island Voluntary Community Help Association currently provides off-island transport to medical appointments in Caboolture, Redcliffe, Northlakes and parts of Brisbane for residents who cannot safely use public transport or who no longer drive. The new on demand transport service creates a complementary option for residents travelling within the island itself, covering day-to-day needs that community transport cannot absorb.

ABS Census data shows that on the day of the 2016 Census, just 4 per cent of employed Bribie residents used public transport to get to work, while more than 71 per cent relied on a car as a driver or passenger. That car dependence reflects the limited alternatives available, not a community indifferent to transit options.

Caboolture Bus Lines Brings Local Knowledge to the Trial

The selection of Caboolture Bus Lines to run the service draws on an operator with an existing presence on the island. The company already runs scheduled services between Caboolture and Bribie Island and offers charter transport for community groups and senior citizen organisations across the region. Familiarity with local conditions, roads and the island’s residential layout positions the operator well for a service that depends on responsive, flexible routing.

On demand transport models differ from traditional fixed-route buses in that vehicles respond to bookings rather than following a timetable. That model suits Bribie’s scattered residential areas, where a fixed route would either miss large sections of the island or require residents to travel considerable distances to reach a stop.

Community transport advocates have for several years identified flexible pre-booked services as the most practical solution for Bribie’s geography, noting the island’s high car dependence and the need for alternatives that do not require transfers or long walks to bus stops.

A Trial Built on Previous Community Research

The new on demand transport service does not arrive without groundwork. Authorities undertook the Bribie Island and Surrounds Transport and Mobility Study to examine current and future transport challenges and to identify community priorities, with public consultation closing in December 2023. That study recognised Bribie’s high proportion of residents aged 65 and older as a central factor in planning appropriate transport access to services within and beyond the island.

Population projections indicate Bribie Island will grow to around 25,000 people by 2041, with demographic ageing driving much of that shift and the number of residents aged 75 to 84 forecast to increase by approximately 49 per cent over the next 17 years. Establishing a functioning on demand transport network now gives the trial time to mature before that demand intensifies.

How to Use the New Service

The on-demand transport service will launch in mid-2026. Bookings will be available by phone, online or through an app, with the 50-cent flat fare applying across all trips. The service runs seven days a week including early morning and evening options.

For those currently using community transport for off-island medical appointments, the Bribie Island Voluntary Community Help Association remains available at bivchai.org.au. Updates on the on demand transport launch date and booking details will be available through Caboolture Bus Lines at cbus.biz.

Morayfield Social Housing Project Breaks Ground With 58 Homes for Elderly Queenslanders

Construction has begun on 58 new social homes in Morayfield, in a Kinma Valley development designed to give older Queenslanders a safer, more manageable place to live, while also freeing up much-needed family-sized housing across the region.

The project is being delivered by Queensland in partnership with Community Housing (Qld) Limited (CHL), and forms part of a broader push to address the state’s housing shortage in a region described as a fast-growing community.

Located in the Kinma Valley masterplanned estate, the new homes will be a mix of one and two-bedroom duplexes suited to older residents looking to downsize. The estate is accessible via Jacko Place (off Oakey Flat Road) or Morinda Circuit in Morayfield. Half of the 58 dwellings have been specifically designed with accessibility at their core, featuring wider hallways, step-free entry points, safer bathroom configurations and flexible layouts — practical features that support older Queenslanders, people with mobility needs, and those wanting to age in place. Specific street numbers for the 58 duplexes are not listed in public ministerial statements to maintain resident privacy.

Minister for Housing and Public Works Sam O’Connor said the development was a direct response to the needs of a region under pressure.

“We’ve already got more than 600 social and affordable homes in construction or under contract across Moreton Bay with more to come,” Minister O’Connor said.

“These duplexes in Morayfield are exactly the kind of homes we want to see more of to meet the needs of this fast-growing community. Not only will they provide secure, long-term housing for older Queenslanders, but it also means we can free up larger properties for families waiting on the social housing register.”

The principle behind the design is straightforward — matching housing size to household need, so that larger properties become available to those who need them most. It is a model that community housing providers have increasingly championed as a practical way to stretch limited housing stock further.

CHL’s Queensland State Manager Carly Bairstow said the Morayfield location was well-suited to the community the development aimed to serve.

“Projects like this one provide safe, secure homes for seniors, which are close to transport and amenities, and help free up other larger properties that are hard to access for families who need them most,” Ms Bairstow said.

Morayfield’s access to transport and local amenities was cited by CHL as a key factor in the site’s suitability for older residents.

The Morayfield project is one of 11 developments backed through Queensland’s partnership with CHL, which together are set to deliver 469 social and affordable homes across the state. Elsewhere in the pipeline, 121 homes are under construction at Redbank Plains and another 73 are being built across two sites at Waterford West.

Across Queensland, there are currently 5,838 social and affordable homes either in construction or under contract. The state has committed $5.6 billion over four years toward social and community housing, with a long-term goal of 53,500 homes delivered by 2044.

Unitywater Calls on Morayfield Community to Weigh in on Water Planning

Morayfield residents are being urged to help shape the future of their water and wastewater services, with utility provider Unitywater calling on the community to share what matters most about cost, reliability and service quality as the region faces rapid population growth.



Unitywater has launched a public survey inviting people across Moreton Bay, the Sunshine Coast and Noosa to provide feedback on how essential water and wastewater services should be planned and delivered in coming years.

The survey, which opens 20 February and runs until 6 March, is part of the utility’s broader customer research programme aimed at understanding community expectations around service quality, reliability and value for money.

Residents can also speak directly with Unitywater staff at community pop-up sessions, including one at Morayfield Shopping Centre on 26 February and another at Strathpine Centre on 5 March.

Unitywater says community feedback will help guide planning as the region continues to expand, with population forecasts expected to reach 1.4 million people by 2046. The provider is also preparing for increasing infrastructure demands linked to new housing, economic growth and major events such as the 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games.

Executive Manager Customer Experience Katherine Gee said the initiative gives residents an opportunity to influence how services are delivered and improved.

Beyond public health, Unitywater says water and wastewater services support greener public spaces, protect waterways and contribute to sustainable development across growing communities.

The utility currently provides water and wastewater services to more than 900,000 residents across Moreton Bay, the Sunshine Coast and Noosa, and manages billions of dollars’ worth of infrastructure across the region. It plans to invest $2 billion over the next five years in critical water and wastewater projects.



Community members who complete the survey can opt into a draw for a $100 gift card.
