DIVISION 1 UPDATE
Tri stars score new clubhouse T he Logan Triathlon Club has a new home base at Underwood Park in Priestdale. Division 1 Councillor Lisa Bradley says the ‘Logan Tri Club’ has taken up a sub-lease with Rochedale Tigers Rugby League Football Club for use of the grounds and a clubhouse. ‘I am delighted that our local triathletes can call Underwood Park home,’ Cr Bradley says. ‘Triathlon is an OIympic and Paralympic sport and who knows what dreams for the 2032 Games might be launched right here.’ Logan Tri Club President Darren Ryan says getting a place to call home is a ‘huge’ milestone for the club that began in the 1990s and today has more than 60 members of all ages. ‘We have never had a home base but now we can tell the public we are here, this is our base, come and join the fun,’ Darren says. Although the summer triathlon season (swimming, cycling, running) is drawing to a close, the winter months will feature a focus on run training in preparation for the new season.

Bus turnaround boost for locals and visitors and creating a new entrance to the Daisy Hill Conservation Park.
V isiting one of the city’s most popular cultural and sporting precincts is now a lot safer and more convenient thanks to a new passenger set down area and the arrival of a Translink bus service at the end of Underwood Road at Priestdale. A recently constructed sealed cul-de-sac provides a new bus turnaround which is a huge boost for people wishing to visit the Fo Guang Shan Chung Tian Temple, one of the city’s most popular tourist attractions. It includes Translink’s new Temple Stop, now serviced by Route 578. The new bus service will also be handy for those who use the many sporting and recreation facilities in adjacent Underwood Park and Daisy Hill Conservation Park. The works also include road resurfacing, extended footpaths
The project was funded by Logan City Council with support from the Australian Government’s Investing in Our Communities Program. Division 1 Councillor Lisa Bradley says the upgrade will encourage more visitors to the temple, Daisy Hill Conservation Park and Underwood Park, with the popular FUNderwood Hollow playground. ‘I wanted to ensure visiting this fabulous precinct was safe and enjoyable and that’s why a lot of work was put in over a number of years to deliver this much-needed bus turnaround,’ Cr Bradley says. ‘I look forward to seeing more people use public transport or private bus services to come into the area, which will help reduce traffic congestion and the demand for parking on busy days.’
