footprint as the lifeforce and heart of everything 54-tonne granite boulder that forms part of the building itself.”  “We have truly left no stone unturned to connect these vastly distinct spaces from reusing site materials  including monolithic stone in the spacious kitchen to subtle touches like the geometry of the footpath and pool  edges which resemble the microscopic edges of granite.”  The

ex-tropical Cyclone Alfred was due to hit mainland Australia and with the prestigious Keperra Bowl just weeks away the devastating weather couldn't have come at a worse time for Keperra Country Golf Club As club General Manager Gavin Lawrence details the club was not spared of significant damage "The cyclone brought extreme rainfall and strong winds leaving much of the course inaccessible due to flooding and fallen debris," he said "We were forced to close from Thursday with certain areas remaining unreachable until Wednesday mud and river gravel covered multiple fairways and significant tree damage required immediate attention." The extent of the damage was unfortunately common for golf courses across South-East Queensland but with such important events on the horizon Keperra was keen to fast-track the recovery a process only made possible by volunteering members "Our volunteers played a crucial role contributing over 100 hours of labour to assist with the cleanup," Lawrence said "They worked alongside staff to clear debris and help restore the course to a playable condition "Their efforts ensured that the club’s course maintenance professionals could focus on the more specialised and complex restoration tasks." With the volunteers helping Keperra's grounds staff the club was able to go ahead with the Keperra Bowl as scheduled and have since help its club championships as well "One of the most inspiring aspects was how members stepped up without hesitation Some even took time off work to help with the cleanup showing their dedication to the club," said Lawrence and hospitality workers created an incredible sense of community during a difficult period "This experience has truly highlighted that volunteers are the heart of sports clubs and strengthened our ability to bounce back quickly." "Encouraging this spirit of contribution and shared responsibility builds a resilient connected community that thrives well beyond the crisis."

Keperra Country Golf Club shows how strongly the Brisbane club has been revived after last year’s floods When the additional offering opens on Friday it will be a salute to the smart use of space design and how to appeal to all levels of golfer Keperra Country Golf Club General Manager Gavin Lawrence is an industry veteran and re-imagined something different for the club’s tired practice fairway The big advantage immediately was the narrow 200-metre-long area being in a prime location as you drive through the gates of the popular club Eyes now pop when members and visitors see mounded greens raised tee blocks and a range of holes from 40m to 60m the whole process took just six months after course designer David Burrup detailed the layout It’s a more beneficial practice area or new-to-golf area that is far more interactive with the tees and targets,” Lawrence said “It’s still our practice fairway that will serve members but with far better application for our junior program and beginners “It completely changes impressions when you drive through the club’s gates.” Head greenkeeper Keith Johnson and his crew did a fine job bringing the greens and sloped features to life and adding definition between the mini-fairways and light rough “Our practice fairway was never the best in Brisbane because we are challenged by space in this area flat floor plan with a few flags but we now have genuine greens and it’s far better for players of all standards,” Lawrence added The prospect of small corporate groups enjoying a pitch-and-putt afternoon is another use at the home club of former PGA Tour regular John Senden How the club has bounced back is heartening after the severe damage caused by the major Brisbane flood of February 2022 that inundated holes and tore through the green of the short par three eighth The eighth green is in play but with Band-Aids before a rebuild gets underway The bonus to the practice fairway is that one full-sized bunkered green has been created so a spare hole can be utilised when the eighth is being rebuilt  Frasers Property Australia is officially transitioning up the iconic Keperra hillside with the second release of

After a difficult six months for businesses due to the pandemic and extraordinary weather events, Keperra Country Golf Club is pleased to announce it is now oversubscribed heading into the 2022/2023 Sponsorship year. Mr Lawrence said it had been a challenging period for the Club, with unprecedented damage to the golf course and infrastructure after the February flooding and subsequent heavy rainfall, as well as many Queensland businesses also impacted by both weather and the rise in COVID-19 cases once state borders reopened.   ‘Our goal when we launched our sponsorship program last year was to connect with businesses in our community and provide opportunities for mutual benefit and support,’ Mr Lawrence said.  Mr Lawrence said there had been many recent highlights despite the difficulties, including the Clubs successful Junior Holiday Clinic in July, supported by Simon Whitehead and Drew Crump from Harcourts Solutions Real Estate and activations with aged care and disability service provider, Just Better Care Brisbane North, which celebrated its relocation to Arana Hills.   ‘We’ve had great feedback from our partners about initiatives and opportunities, such as exposure on the Club billboard at the intersection of Samford Road and the Ferny Grove train line,’ he said.    ‘Three of our lucky Club members also benefited from the generosity of Principal Sponsor Tangalooma Island Resort, which donated three, two-night holiday stays with dolphin feeding and a wildlife experience for a membership draw.  We are looking forward to working with all our sponsors as we head into the next 12 months. Already there are exciting Club projects on the horizon, the biggest of which is a new short course and 28th hole, which will be constructed on what is currently the driving range. This project will improve the Clubs ability to introduce more juniors and newcomers to the game.’  Justice Bosio made history and Elvis Smylie wrote his own remarkable story as the Queensland pair won the prestigious Keperra Bowl titles today became the winner of the first-ever female event at the storied Queensland amateur tournament in a triumph she rated "my biggest by far" already the national junior champion and still just 18 not only went back-to-back in the men’s event but won by an astonishing 13 shots after a stunning 62 today just 16 and in year 11 schooling on the Sunshine Coast won the South Australian Junior Amateur and the South Australian Junior Masters earlier this year She won the inaugural Keperra women’s event by a shot from Hye Jun Park and Minji Kweon Bosio posted five-under-par after two closing 67s to go with opening rounds of 73 and 76 But Park and Kweon both bogeyed the 72nd hole and left her with the victory as she prepared for a playoff Bosio has had a consistent year that includes not only her first senior title win in Adelaide but a win at the Queensland Junior Masters runner-up in the Queensland Stroke Play and fifth in the Queensland Amateur she only just made the cut at five-over-par before a chat with her father unlocked the secret and I have all these videos from all my lessons on Coach Now "I just looked at those and I found that my position in the backswing was so open That's why I was hitting it everywhere I worked on fixing that and that's why it went straight!"

seeking minor amendments to the development granted by the Brisbane City Council Planning Committee in October 2017 and more recently 21 August 2020 has been lodged The changes seek to revise the Neighbourhood Centre and Mixed Use Residential Community development The proposed changes seek to revised masterplan and vision for the site that have resulted in a refinement of the site structure planning The amended structure plan requires amending as a result of detailed design staged approach of the development and that the development will contained community title internal roads and assets The proposal still seeks the overall redevelopment of the subject site ceased quarrying activities and the establishment of a number of residential precincts pedestrian/cycle networks and open space networks The planners at RPS Australia East state that “ the proposed changes relate to reducing the built form which was previously approved under the Preliminary Approval While the reductions will not dramatically change the built form in terms of scale bulk and appearance – it will ensure that a development more commensurate to the Keperra suburban feel is provided on the site” “Given the reduction in building height and yield on the site the severity of the known impacts are being reduced as a result of this proposed change This includes reduced traffic to the site as a result of the density reduction and a reduction in visual impact external to the site given the reduction from 5 to 3 storeys maximum building height in Precinct 2” to be updated on other projects or developments View full results for Keperra Bowl EXCITEMENT is building for the 18th edition of the prestigious Keperra Bowl to be played at the picturesque Keperra Country Golf Club in Brisbane from October 11-14. The 72-hole Keperra Bowl is a Golf Australia Order of Merit and R&A World Amateur Golf Ranking Event. The event always attracts the cream of the amateur crop (male and female) and this year will be no different and that’s good news for golf fans keen on watching the elite players in the amateur game demonstrate theirskills. Many of this year’s players will be using the Keperra Bowl as a platform with the aim of being selected in the national team. “Cameron Smith and Jason Day, tested themselves against the best.” Past winners include Marc Leishman, Andrew Dodt, Daniel Nisbet, Anthony Quayle, Matt Griffin, Elvis Smylie et al. Many years ago Australia’s leading amateurs, Cameron Smith and Jason Day, tested themselves against the best and neither managed to lift the Bowl such was the depth of field.  At the Keperra Bowl, you will see a long list of players on plus handicaps, but those male golfers not off 4.4 or less won’t get a start. For the women, the handicap limit is 8.4. Golf fans marvel when they witness Cam Smith and Adam Scott hit 300m drives, chip-in from off the green and roll in eagles and birdies at will. The male amateurs that play in the Keperra Bowl do it as frequently as the professionals. For example, it’s not unusual to see the Bowl winner finish on 20-plus under par. And don’t forget the women’s Keperra Bowl too is up for grabs. It’s contested by the best players from all states. Last year Cassie Porter, off +5, came home with a wet sail to win the Bowl ahead of 2020 champion Justice Bosio. Both players finished well under par. One of the reasons these top amateurs shoot low scores is the condition of the golf course, which is almost always in pristine condition when the Bowl is played. Well-manicured tees, fairways and greens are framed by shaggy, carpet thick rough. The ball sits up perfectly in the fairways, but it can easily settle down if hit into the rough. So, if you want to watch some of the world’s best amateurs in action head for Duggan Street, Keperra later this month. Entry is free. Some of the names might be unfamiliar, but these players are definitely worth watching.  Located on the southwest corner of Stamford Road and Settlement Road. The Keperra Drive-In opened in 1966. The Keperra Drive-In started with one screen, and added a second screen around 1991. The Keperra Drive-In was closed in 1998 and was demolished(slowly?)(date unknown?), and the site is now the Kings Grove Housing Estate. Image below copyright of The State Library of Queensland.

has been selected to represent Australia at the Women's Amateur Asia-Pacific in Thailand next month shot a steady even par final round of 72 to triumph by three shots while Hoath finished a remarkable 16-under for the tournament to prevail by two shots The victory is 18-year-old Bosio's second at Keperra after she made history as the event's first female champion in 2020 when she stormed home with a pair of 67s The Caboolture member only just made the cut then but this time around she immediately found her groove as she led from start to finish She opened the tournament with a three-under round of 69 but a second round 73 had her tied for the lead with soon to be Australian teammate Sarah Hammett who shot the women's low round of the week with a 68 on Wednesday Bosio took control from then on as a third round 70 - which could have been lower had it not been for a bogey-double bogey finish - moved her to four-under with a two-shot lead heading into the final day and she was able to grow that buffer with her composed final round The win was a drought breaker for Bosio - her first in a World Amateur Golf Ranking (WAGR) event in two years - and she ended a streak of six runner-up finishes between victories "I was more comfortable than I've been before," she said "Last night I got a good sleep in and came to the golf course and played okay "My game has changed a bit from a couple of years It's a lot more consistent even though the score probably doesn't show it but it is more consistent "I knew where I stood going into the back nine today and I just tried to keep calm Hoath's triumph was his first in a WAGR event in nearly a year - he last won at the 2021 Tasmanian Amateur Championship - and it came courtesy of a sensational 36-hole burst The RACV Royal Pines Resort Golf Club member opened the tournament with rounds of 70 and 68 before a third round 66 launched him into the lead He began the final day with a one shot advantage and when he made an eagle at the first hole on Friday morning it appeared as if he could not be stopped Bogeys at the second and fourth ensured that it would not be smooth sailing but Hoath responded with three birdies prior to the turn New South Wales Golf Club's Harry Bolton who shot the low round of the week with a second round 65 drew with one shot of Hoath with seven holes to play but the Queenslander was not to be denied Birdies at the 13th and 14th were crucial and they gave Hoath enough breathing room to drop a shot at the penultimate hole he's a member here so he was giving me some good reads and everything was going on the line I wanted to," he said "I held a pretty good putt on 14 and from then on I was like 'yeah Defending champion Tyler Duncan finished tied for third alongside Brookwater's Taj Egea
