Albany Creek And Bray Park Swimmers Return To Commonwealth Stage

Albany Creek and Bray Park will both have a place in the Commonwealth Games pool this week, as Moreton Bay swimmers Sam Short and Kirralee Hayes return to race for Australia in Glasgow. Short is a former Albany Creek swimmer, while Hayes was a founding member of Genesis Aquatics at Genesis Christian College in Bray Park.

Short arrives with a crowded freestyle program and medals from some of international swimming’s largest competitions. Hayes returns after stepping away from competitive swimming for two years before rebuilding her place in the Australian team.

Short Takes Albany Creek Connection Into Four Events

Short will contest the men’s 200m, 400m, 800m and 1500m freestyle events, with a possible place in Australia’s 4x200m freestyle relay team.

The 22-year-old is competing at his second Commonwealth Games after winning the 1500m freestyle and taking silver in the 400m at Birmingham 2022.

His results since then include three medals at the 2023 World Championships in Fukuoka. Short won the 400m freestyle in 3 minutes 40.68 seconds, claimed silver in the 800m and finished third in the 1500m.

His 800m performance also broke the Australian record previously held by Grant Hackett.

Illness affected Short at his next two major international meets. He was recovering from gastroenteritis during the Paris Olympics, where he finished fourth in the 400m freestyle, ninth in the 800m heats and 13th in the 1500m heats.

At the 2025 World Championships in Singapore, he won silver in the 400m before withdrawing from the 800m final because of foodborne illness. He later returned to finish fourth in the 1500m final.

Short recorded 3 minutes 40.67 seconds in the 400m at the Australian trials for Glasgow, placing him close to Ian Thorpe’s Commonwealth record of 3 minutes 40.08 seconds from 2002.

The Glasgow program will also feature the men’s 800m freestyle for the first time.

Bray Park Program Remains Part Of Hayes’ Return

Hayes’ pathway began at Genesis Aquatics, where she was among the program’s founding members.

Vision-impaired since birth, the Brisbane-born swimmer took up competitive swimming at 11 and went on to represent Australia at the Tokyo Paralympics.

Her Commonwealth Games debut followed in Birmingham, where she earned her first international medal by placing third in the women’s 50m freestyle S13 in 28.24 seconds.

Hayes stepped away from competitive swimming between 2023 and 2025 while dealing with challenges involving her mental health and identity. Her interest in returning developed during 2025, before contact from a former coach helped bring her back to the pool.

The 22-year-old now trains at the Australian Institute of Sport in Canberra under Yuriy Vdovychenko. She also continues to work with Genesis Aquatics coach Rick Pendleton when she returns to Brisbane.

Glasgow will bring an expanded program for Hayes. Along with returning to the 50m freestyle S13, she will contest the 100m freestyle S13.

When The Moreton Bay Swimmers Race

Hayes will begin with the women’s 100m freestyle S13 heats on Friday, July 24 from 7:30pm AEST. The final is scheduled for early Saturday, July 25.

Her 50m freestyle S13 heats will be held on Tuesday, July 28, followed by the final early on Wednesday, July 29.

Short’s first individual event will be the 400m freestyle, with heats on Saturday, July 25 and the final early the following morning.

The 800m heats and final will follow on July 27 and 28. His 200m and 1500m freestyle heats are both scheduled for Wednesday, July 29, with the finals to be held early on Thursday, July 30.

Albany Creek and Strathpine locals don’t have to travel far to see some of the region’s best emerging and established artistic talent, with the Moreton Bay Art Prize 2026 now on show at Pine Rivers Art Gallery.

The annual exhibition brings together 36 shortlisted artists from across the City of Moreton Bay, offering a snapshot of the people, places and stories shaping the region’s creative community.

This year’s first prize has been awarded to Elimbah-based artist Rachel South for Sun-Kissed Chestnut (2025), a richly detailed painting that turns something as familiar as hair into a striking and almost landscape-like work.

A closer look at the everyday

South’s painting is part of an ongoing series exploring hair as both a personal detail and a broader visual landscape. In Sun-Kissed Chestnut, warm copper and chestnut tones are used to capture strands of hair in close detail, creating a work that feels both intimate and expansive.

Judge Dr Simon Degroot praised the painting for the way it transforms an everyday subject into something monumental. He noted South’s technical skill in capturing light, texture and movement, and said the work encourages viewers to slow down and look more closely.

South’s wider practice explores connections between nature, the body and emotion, drawing inspiration from the natural environments of the Moreton Bay and Sunshine Coast regions.

Stories that feel close to home

While the winning work is a highlight, the broader exhibition offers plenty for local visitors to connect with.

Second prize was awarded to Lucie Verhelst for The Dance of Compassion (2026), a textile work that invites people to think about empathy, vulnerability and the quiet strength found in human connection.

Third prize went to Redcliffe artist Blair Garland for Greetings from Redcliffe (2025), a handmade album featuring 19 painted portraits of local homes. The work reflects on the changing face of suburban neighbourhoods and the distinctive houses that can disappear as areas grow and redevelop. For residents in Albany Creek, Strathpine and nearby suburbs, that theme may feel especially familiar.

Highly commended works included Belinda Krumm’s Garland of Beads (2025), a large-scale ceramic installation shaped by 108 community wishes for the future; Shan Michaels’ Narratives We Wear (2026), a textile work exploring identity, connection and belonging; and Mel Brady’s Grasp the sparrow’s tail (2026), a personal reflection on grief, family and memory.

A local outing worth making

Mayor Peter Flannery said the Art Prize highlights the depth of creative talent across Moreton Bay and shows how arts and culture help build connected, vibrant communities.

For Albany Creek and Strathpine residents, the exhibition is a simple way to support local artists and enjoy a cultural outing close to home. Visitors can also have their say by voting in the People’s Choice Award before Saturday 18 July.

The Moreton Bay Art Prize 2026 exhibition is on display at Pine Rivers Art Gallery, 130-134 Gympie Rd, Strathpine QLD 4500, Australia.

The competition aims to bridge the gap between school art rooms and professional exhibition spaces. Students living in or attending schools within the City of Moreton Bay have the chance to submit a wide variety of works, including traditional paintings, drawings, photography, digital art, ceramics, and large-scale installations.

By removing the barrier of entry fees, the program seeks to ensure that every young person, regardless of their background, has an equal opportunity to build their confidence and gain public recognition for their creative efforts.

The awards structure recognises the hard work of students through both individual and collaborative categories. For individual entries, the competition is divided by school year levels and artistic categories, with winners receiving cash prizes, trophies, and certificates.

Schools are also encouraged to enter collaborative projects, which offer a unique chance for groups of three or more students to work together. Winning schools in this category receive a $1000 scholarship, providing them with the funds to host professional art workshops for their students.

Beyond the judging panel, the event invites the public to have a direct say in the outcome through the People’s Choice Award. Visitors to the exhibition are encouraged to browse the gallery, reflect on the different perspectives presented by the students, and vote for their favourite piece. The creator of the most popular work will receive a dedicated trophy, a certificate, and a prize pack of high-quality art materials worth up to $100.

City of Moreton Bay Mayor Peter Flannery noted that the event provides a meaningful way for young people to connect with the local arts scene. He added that the program is an important avenue for students to share their imaginative ideas, explore their own identities, and receive feedback from the broader community, highlighting the depth of talent currently growing across the region.

Albany Creek House Fire on Oakmont Crescent Leaves Home Gutted, Occupants Safe

An Albany Creek house fire on Sunday night left a single-storey home on Oakmont Crescent extensively damaged, with emergency services from multiple agencies responding to the scene.

The blaze broke out just before 8pm on 5 July and quickly drew a significant emergency response. By 8:20pm, three Queensland Fire Department crews were on the ground working to bring the fire under control, with a further three crews making their way to the property.

Queensland Police Service also attended in force, with more than five units at the scene. Officers closed off Oakmont Crescent to through traffic while crews worked, and police later determined the fire was non-suspicious, believed to have started accidentally.

The occupants of the home were evacuated safely, and all were accounted for. Queensland Ambulance Service confirmed one occupant was treated for minor smoke inhalation, though their condition was described as stable. Paramedics remained on standby at the scene to support fire crews as they worked.

The community rallied on social media as images of the blaze circulated locally, with residents expressing relief that those inside had made it out safely.

Pine Rivers Heritage Museum Among Highlights of Moreton Bay Holiday Program

Families in Albany Creek will have plenty of opportunities to keep children busy during the winter school holidays, with Moreton Bay preparing a wide range of free activities across libraries, museums, galleries and recreation venues.

From farm-themed experiences at Pine Rivers Heritage Museum to visits from alpacas and babydoll lambs, this year’s program offers a mix of hands-on learning, creative workshops and active recreation designed to appeal to children of different ages and interests.

The winter holiday schedule includes dozens of activities aimed at helping young people stay engaged during the school break while giving families affordable options close to home.

Farmyard Family Fun Day returns to Pine Rivers Heritage Museum

One of the standout attractions for families in the Pine Rivers region is the popular Farmyard Family Fun Day at Pine Rivers Heritage Museum.

The event has become a regular feature of school holiday programs and gives children an opportunity to connect with farm-themed experiences while exploring one of the area’s key cultural attractions.

The museum will also host other family-focused activities during the holiday period, helping children learn through hands-on experiences that combine history, creativity and play.

Alpacas and lambs heading to library events

Children will also have the opportunity to learn more about natural fibres and wool production through City of Moreton Bay’s Winter Woollies program. The initiative will bring alpacas and babydoll lambs to selected libraries, where families can discover how wool is processed and used in everyday products.

Live demonstrations of carding and spinning will show how raw fleece is prepared and transformed into yarn, giving children a closer look at traditional fibre-processing techniques.

The educational sessions are designed to encourage curiosity while helping children better understand the connection between farming and the products they use.

Creative workshops encourage curiosity and imagination

Libraries across the city will host a range of activities that encourage children to try something new during the holidays. The program includes beginner 3D printing workshops, improv sessions, magic shows and circus-themed experiences.

These activities provide opportunities for children to explore creativity, develop confidence and build new skills outside the classroom environment. The program aims to cater to different interests while helping young people remain engaged during the break.

Sport and recreation round out the holiday program

For children who enjoy physical activity, City of Moreton Bay’s Active Holidays program includes a broad selection of sporting and recreational experiences. Activities include target archery, hip hop dance, tennis, junior boxing, multicultural games and survival skills sessions.

Mayor Peter Flannery said Council’s school holiday program was designed to help young people stay active, explore new interests, spend time with family and create positive memories during the winter break.

New Digital Water Meters Aim to Catch Hidden Leaks in Murrumba Downs

Unitywater/YouTube

Murrumba Downs is one of five suburbs receiving digital water meter installations during June. The initiative forms part of an expanding Unitywater program that has already fitted about 4,000 devices across its service region since March 2026 and issued more than 160 notifications advising customers they may have a leak.

Almost 2,300 properties across Murrumba Downs, Kallangur, Bray Park, Strathpine and Warner are included in this round of installations.

For households nearby in Albany Creek who have not yet received notice of their own upgrade, the rollout represents what is likely coming their way as Unitywater continues expanding the program across its network.

What makes a digital meter different

The digital upgrade provides a more complete picture of water use across Unitywater’s network to help catch issues early. While a traditional meter is typically only read once every three months, this digital technology allows for faster leak identification and earlier notification of potential leaks to customers.

This gives households the opportunity to locate and fix a problem before it shows up as an unexpectedly large, clearer bill.

Unitywater Acting Executive Manager Customer Experience Steve Wimberley explained the operational logic behind why some streets see installations before their neighbours.

“We’re installing the meters in ‘network blocks’, which are defined by the water supply infrastructure layout, rather than street-by-street,” he said. “This means residents may see their neighbours’ meters being upgraded but not theirs yet and this is an intentional operational approach.”

The numbers behind the program

Unitywater’s earlier pilot program delivered substantial results across 10,000 properties. The trial recorded more than 800 million litres of water savings, more than $5 million in customer savings, and early leak identification support for more than 3,500 households.

Properties left unattended for extended periods are particularly vulnerable to undetected leaks. This technology closes that gap by flagging unusual water use quickly, preventing scenarios where property owners return home from a holiday to major, undetected water damage.

How the installation process works

Customers scheduled to receive a digital meter in the next six months will receive a letter from Unitywater, followed by a notice approximately five to 10 days before their installation window. Residents do not need to be home for the upgrade, which takes between five minutes to one hour.

“We don’t always need to turn off your water for this upgrade, but if we do, we will notify you beforehand,” Mr Wimberley said.

The standard installation comes at no additional cost if received as per Unitywater’s schedule. However, customers wishing to have an early upgrade can opt in, which may incur an additional fee.

Albany Creek Swimmer Earns International Call-Up After New Zealand Championship Double

James Leigh/Instagram

A young swimmer who first learned to swim at the Albany Creek Leisure Centre is preparing to represent New Zealand on the international stage after a breakthrough performance at the 2026 New Zealand National Championships.

Nineteen-year-old James Leigh claimed the Open titles in both the 400m and 800m freestyle, finished second in the 200m freestyle and secured selection in New Zealand’s senior team for the Pan Pacific Championships in the United States this August.

Reflecting on the result, James said: “I am the NZ open champion in the 400 and 800 free and second in the 200 free. I was also selected for the Senior team to compete at the Pan Pacific championships during August in USA.”

Full Circle at Albany Creek

While James is now racing at international level, his swimming story began much closer to home.

He first learned to swim through the learn-to-swim program at Albany Creek Leisure Centre. Today, he has come full circle, working at the same facility as a learn-to-swim instructor and lifeguard.

For local families, it means the person helping children build confidence in the water is also an elite swimmer now preparing to test himself on one of the sport’s major international stages.

Years of Work Behind the Result

James had set himself the goal of becoming an Open champion at the New Zealand nationals and spent the past year working towards it. His double victory in the 400m and 800m freestyle marked the reward for that preparation.

The result also reflected a sharp improvement in his times. Even where he had hoped to go slightly faster in some events, his swims still represented major personal bests compared with where he had been 12 months earlier.

His most demanding race mentally was the 200m freestyle, where selection pressure added another layer to the event. Physically, the 800m freestyle was the toughest test, requiring him to maintain a demanding pace over a long distance.

From Local Lessons to International Competition

James’ competitive swimming career began while his family was living in the Philippines for three years. After returning to Australia at the age of 10, he joined Marist College Ashgrove Swim Club, where he continues to train under coach James Boyce.

His training schedule now includes around 20 hours in the pool each week across eight sessions, together with three gym sessions.

As a dual Australian and New Zealand citizen with New Zealand heritage, representing the country carries strong personal meaning for him.

Bigger Goals Ahead

The Pan Pacific Championships will give James another chance to gain international experience against some of the world’s best swimmers.

His longer-term ambitions stretch well beyond this year’s meet. He is building towards future World Championships and, ultimately, the Olympic pathway.

James has acknowledged the support of his family, coach James Boyce, teammates at Marist College Ashgrove Swim Club, Albany Creek Leisure Centre, Coast Swim Club and Metropolitan Caloundra Surf Life Saving Club throughout his swimming journey.

For Albany Creek residents, his story is a reminder that international sporting careers can begin in familiar places. From learning to swim at the local leisure centre to earning national titles and a place on New Zealand’s senior team, James Leigh’s journey has brought him back to where it all started—this time helping the next generation discover the sport.

Boondall To Host Massive Attack On Long-Awaited Australian Tour

After 16 years away from Australian stages, Massive Attack will return with a Brisbane performance at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre in Boondall.

A Rare Brisbane Stop For Massive Attack

Massive Attack’s Australian tour will include three headline shows, with Brisbane listed alongside Sydney and Melbourne.

The Brisbane performance is scheduled for Thursday, 06 August 2026, at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre. The event is listed for 8:00pm, subject to change.

The show places the Queensland stop in Boondall, giving audiences from Albany Creek, Brisbane’s north and surrounding areas access to the group’s first Australian tour since 2010. The venue sits about 16 kilometres north of Brisbane’s CBD and about eight kilometres north of Brisbane’s domestic and international airports.

From Bristol To International Recognition

Massive Attack began in Bristol in 1988, founded by Robert “3D” Del Naja, Grant “Daddy G” Marshall, Adrian “Tricky” Thaws and Andrew “Mushroom” Vowles. The group currently consists of Del Naja and Marshall.

The collective became closely associated with trip-hop, combining hip-hop rhythms, soul elements, dub bass and atmospheric electronic production. Their 1991 debut album, Blue Lines, is often cited as a major work in the genre’s emergence.

The album included Unfinished Sympathy, which became one of Massive Attack’s best-known tracks and reached number one on the Dutch Top 40.

Albums That Shaped The Set-Up For Boondall

After Blue Lines, Massive Attack released Protection in 1994, followed by Mezzanine in 1998.

Mezzanine became the group’s first number one album on the UK Albums Chart and included Teardrop, later recognised by many listeners as the opening theme for the American television series House.

The group later released 100th Window in 2003 and Heligoland in 2010. Across those five studio albums, Massive Attack has sold more than 13 million copies worldwide.

Both Blue Lines and Mezzanine appear on Rolling Stone’s list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. The group has also worked with recurring guest vocalists including Horace Andy, Shara Nelson, Tracey Thorn, Elizabeth Fraser, Sinéad O’Connor, Damon Albarn and Hope Sandoval.

Their awards include a Brit Award for Best British Dance Act, two MTV Europe Music Awards and two Q Awards.

Tickets for the Boondall show are available through Ticketek. Patrons have been advised to avoid unauthorised resale websites because tickets purchased through those channels may be invalid.

The concert is listed as an all-ages event, and all patrons must hold a valid ticket for entry. General admission standing floor patrons aged 15 years or under are recommended to be accompanied or supervised by an adult.

With only Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne listed for the Australian tour, the Boondall concert stands as the Queensland stop in Massive Attack’s return after more than a decade and a half.

New Fire Trails Near Albany Creek to Support Safer Burns and Protect Bushland

City of Moreton Bay

Fire trail works have commenced at 309 Eatons Crossing Road in Eatons Hill and 519 Bunya Road in Bunya, two of five sites across Moreton Bay where access tracks are being established to support controlled ecological burns and protect native species from the threat of uncontrolled wildfire.

The works, which run through to late June, are taking place on land acquired through the Land Buyback for Environmental Purposes Program, a voluntary scheme that has secured more than 100 hectares of key environmental land across the City of Moreton Bay since its introduction in 2020.

For Albany Creek residents, both the Eatons Hill and Bunya locations sit within the Hills District bushland corridor that forms the green backdrop of the suburb’s western and southern edges.

At 519 Bunya Road, the works also include targeted vegetation management to reduce a section of weed infestation and understory bushfire fuel load alongside the fire trail establishment. The same additional vegetation work is occurring at the fifth site, 114 Collins Road in Everton Hills. The remaining two sites in the current program are at 2 Flowers Road, Caboolture and 18 Jagera Court, Closeburn.

Tracks built to follow what was already there

The new fire trails have been specifically designed to minimise ecological impact. The majority follow pre-existing trails or farm tracks that already cross these properties, reducing the need for new vegetation clearing.

Native canopy trees will remain in place throughout, and the design of each trail has been guided by the need to avoid or minimise impact on sensitive ecological features and protected species.

Qualified and licensed fauna spotter-catchers are present on site during all works to monitor and protect native wildlife. It is the same precautionary approach used during the ecological burns themselves, where fauna spotters watch for koalas and other animals in and around the burn area throughout the operation.

Fire as a tool for biodiversity

The purpose of establishing fire trails is not simply about access for fire trucks. In the ecology of South East Queensland’s bushland, controlled fire is an active management tool. Banksias rely on heat to open their seed cones.

Grass trees, abundant in the Hills District bushland, regenerate strongly after burns and produce the flower spikes that provide critical nectar for birds and native bees. Ground-layer species that are gradually suppressed by fuel build-up recover after a burn that removes competing material and allows light back to the soil.

Without controlled burns, fuel loads accumulate to the point where any ignition, whether from lightning, ember cast from a distant fire or another source, produces an uncontrolled fire of much greater intensity. That kind of fire can destroy the nesting hollows, streamside vegetation and ground habitat that koalas, platypus and ground-nesting birds depend on.

The Moreton Bay region has recorded platypus across 37 creeks and waterways, and some of those run through the bushland connected to the Eatons Hill and Bunya sites.

The Land Buyback Program was updated in July 2025 to place greater emphasis on conservation-significant wildlife habitats and restoring native vegetation on previously cleared areas. The program supports a target to maintain 42 per cent native vegetation cover across the City of Moreton Bay, with a view to increasing that figure over time.

Stay informed during burns

Works are expected to run through to late June 2026. Residents near any of the five sites may notice machinery activity in the coming weeks as trail construction progresses. When controlled burns are carried out on these sites in the future, MoretonAlert notifications will go to registered residents in the surrounding area ahead of ignition.
