DIVISION 4 UPDATE
Better links for Logan Village A new footpath on Anzac Avenue at Logan Village has bridged a gap in the local community. The path links the Geoff Philp Bridge to the existing network leading into the township. Division 4 Councillor Nathan St Ledger says students at Logan Village State School and Kings Christian College can now walk to and from school more safely. ‘I’m stoked to see this project come to life,’ Cr St Ledger says. ‘Many local residents contacted me about this missing link and I wanted to make it a priority.’ The project was funded by the Division 4 Local Infrastructure Program.

Yarrabilba basketball kids love being active and healthy Yowies
L ogan City Council’s Active & Healthy program has helped give a group of Division 4 youngsters a flying start to their basketball dreams. The Active & Healthy program covered some costs so that players, aged 5 to 7, could participate in the mini-ballers competition run late last year by Yarrabilba Basketball Association (YBA). ‘Our goal is to keep basketball affordable for kids in Yarrabilba and the Active & Healthy program helped cover the cost of registration, coaching and playing,’ says Yarrabilba Basketball Association President Tom Daly. ‘Registrations among our younger
groups ranging up to Under 19s. The Yowies are based at Yarrabilba State Secondary College. They play games at the college courts on Monday and Tuesday and train on Wednesdays, all from 5 pm to 7 pm. Division 4 Councillor Nathan St Ledger presented certificates of participation to the group of mini- ballers last season. ‘Getting involved in sports at a young age is great for our young ones, helping them develop strong social skills and friendships that can last a lifetime,’ Cr St Ledger says. ‘The environment the Yowies create for the mini-ballers is just awesome.'
