Kenmore Village Florist Celebrates 10 Years Of Community And Flowers

For a decade, Kenmore Village Florist has been helping locals celebrate life’s milestones, from birthdays and weddings to anniversaries, celebrations, and heartfelt farewells. This year, the family-run business celebrates 10 years at Kenmore Village Shopping Centre, marking a milestone made possible by the support of loyal customers and the local community.

The anniversary also offers an opportunity to reflect on the people behind the business. Owners Laura and Gaz, a husband-and-wife team, shared the milestone in a message to customers, thanking the community that has supported the florist over the past decade.

“As we celebrate this special milestone, we simply want to say thank you,” they wrote. “To every customer who has walked through our doors, trusted us with life’s special moments, recommended us to family and friends, or supported our small business over the last 10 years… thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We truly couldn’t have done it without you.”

Before taking over the florist, Laura and Gaz worked together in Gaz’s family florist and garden nursery in the United Kingdom. Seventeen years ago, they emigrated to Brisbane with their three children in search of “a new adventure”. In 2016, they purchased Kenmore Village Florist from previous owners Lynn and Glynn, who had operated the business for more than 30 years.

Rather than starting from scratch, the couple took over a business that had served the local community for more than three decades.

“We were incredibly honoured to purchase Kenmore Village Florist from Lynn and Glynn, who had lovingly cared for the business for over 30 years,” they wrote. “We have always felt privileged to continue their legacy while adding our own chapter to its story.”

Over the years, the florist has supplied flowers for family occasions across Kenmore and neighbouring suburbs. The owners thanked customers for allowing the florist to be part of birthdays, weddings, anniversaries, celebrations and farewells, recognising the important role flowers play during many of life’s significant moments.

Growing Alongside The Community

The business has continued to evolve during its decade in Kenmore. Laura and Gaz later opened a second florist, Bloom & Rocket, in Taringa, while continuing to operate their Kenmore store.

Looking back, the couple described the past 10 years as “a journey filled with early mornings at the flower markets, countless bouquets, wonderful staff, and so many unforgettable moments.”

Throughout their anniversary message, the owners repeatedly thanked customers for their support over the past decade.

“Thank you for allowing us to be part of your birthdays, weddings, anniversaries, celebrations and farewells,” they wrote.

In reflecting on the milestone, the owners also acknowledged their “wonderful staff” alongside the customers who have supported the business over the years.

Celebrating The Milestone

To mark the anniversary, Kenmore Village Florist is offering customers 10 per cent off online orders throughout July and August using the promotional code 10YEARS at checkout.

The couple ended their anniversary message by looking to the future. “Here’s to 10 amazing years, and many more to come.”

After a decade at Kenmore Village, the florist’s story reflects both continuity and growth. Building on the foundations established by the previous owners while creating a chapter of their own, Laura and Gaz have continued serving the local community through Kenmore Village Florist.

Bellbowrie Tennis Star Blake Ellis Seeks Fresh Start At Brisbane ITF Events

Bellbowrie’s Blake Ellis will return to the Queensland Tennis Centre in July looking to turn a difficult run of results into fresh momentum, with Brisbane’s ITF Pro Tour presenting a valuable chance to boost his ranking and move a step closer to Australian Open qualifying.

The 27-year-old Queenslander is among the players contesting three consecutive weeks of ITF Pro Tour tournaments in Brisbane, where valuable ATP ranking points will be on offer. This year’s series also introduces an added incentive, with the leading men’s and women’s point scorers across all three events each earning a wildcard into Australian Open qualifying.

After a seven-week tour of the United States, Ellis returns to Brisbane hoping to regain momentum after a run of results that fell short of his expectations. Speaking ahead of the tournament, he indicated that while every player aims to win, his immediate focus is on putting together a series of strong performances and regaining consistency.

A Valuable Pathway

The Brisbane tournaments are a significant part of Australia’s player development pathway. The ITF Pro Tour gives emerging professionals the opportunity to collect world ranking points while competing against quality Australian and international opponents, helping bridge the gap between junior tennis and the higher levels of the professional circuit.

The additional Australian Open qualifying wildcard makes this year’s Brisbane swing particularly significant. Rather than relying on one standout week, players will need to perform consistently across the full three-week series to finish on top of the points standings.

Home Advantage

Ellis has progressed through many of the pathway’s development stages. Introduced to tennis at the age of four in a family passionate about the sport, he developed into one of Australia’s leading junior prospects.

His career highlights include winning the 2016 Australian Open boys’ doubles title alongside Alex de Minaur, reaching the boys’ singles quarterfinals at Roland Garros in 2017 and representing Australia in the Junior Davis Cup.

His progress also earned him opportunities to train alongside some of the sport’s biggest names. As a hitting partner and reserve player at the 2018 Hopman Cup, Ellis trained with Roger Federer, Alexander Zverev and David Goffin.

Although inconsistent results have slowed his progress in recent seasons, Ellis continues to pursue his ambition of breaking into the world’s top 100. Competing in Brisbane gives him the chance to chase valuable ranking points without the demands of overseas travel while performing in front of a home crowd.

The coming weeks will determine how much ground Ellis can make in the standings. A strong showing in Brisbane could improve his ranking and move the Bellbowrie player a step closer to Australian Open qualifying through the new wildcard pathway.

Anstead Bushland Reserve Is a Birdwatcher’s Patch Worth Knowing About

Anstead Bushland Reserve occupies a former basalt quarry site, now covered in native bush, on Brisbane’s western fringe. It is a lesser-known reserve, but it has an active birdwatching record online. The reserve sits off Hawkesbury Road, and a recent checklist recorded native bird species in a single visit.

Read: Kenmore Residents Urged to Save Endangered Species


The reserve has an active hotspot listing on eBird, the global citizen science platform used by birdwatchers to record and track species sightings. The more observers contribute checklists, the more useful and detailed that record becomes over time.

Top 10 Most Recent Bird Sightings

Here are the most recorded bird species at Anstead Bushland Reserve as of 10 May, with their corresponding number of individuals observed:

  • Noisy Friarbird – 10 
  • Scarlet Myzomela – 5
  • Noisy Miner – 4 
  • Rainbow Lorikeet – 3 
  • White-throated Honeyeater – 2
  • Striated Pardalote, Black-headed form – 2 
  • Laughing Kookaburra – 1 
  • Lewin’s Honeyeater – 1 
  • Yellow-faced Honeyeater – 1 
  • White-browed Scrubwren – 1 

The Noisy Friarbird dominated the count with ten individuals recorded. It’s described as a large grey-brown honeyeater with a completely bare black head and a distinctive horn-like knob on its bill, commonly found across open forests, gardens and parks in eastern Australia. It is among the more vocal birds on the list, known for a variety of harsh, loud squawks.

Five Scarlet Myzomelas were also recorded. It is a small honeyeater, but the adult male is visually striking: brilliant red across the face, back and breast, with black wings and tail. Females are pale brown-grey with only faint red on the face. According to eBird, the species is found in wetter parts of coastal eastern Australia, including higher-elevation forests and mangroves, and has a distinctive high-pitched song that often gives it away before it is seen, as it tends to feed high in the canopy.

Rounding out the top three was the Noisy Miner, with four birds counted. A medium to large grey honeyeater with a black crown, yellow bill and yellow eye patch, it is a familiar presence in urban areas and open forested landscapes across much of eastern Australia. eBird notes it is aggressive and territorial, living in colonies and vigorously defending its territory against most intruders.

The walking tracks are mostly flat and well signposted, with a car park, undercover picnic areas, barbecue facilities and toilets at the entrance. A three-kilometre circuit takes in views over a historic quarry and the Brisbane River, with interpretive signs identifying native flora including gum-topped box trees, ironbarks, and lemon-scented gums.

In May 2026, Cr Greg Adermann announced that Anstead Bushland Reserve received new directional and information signage, produced in conjunction with the Moggill Historical Society. The signage shows key walking tracks and trails, and includes historical information on landmarks within the reserve, including Sugars Cottage and Sugars Quarry.

The reserve has been noted as particularly suitable for early morning birdwatching. The reserve is accessed via Hawkesbury Road off Mount Crosby Road. Visitors with the eBird app can log their own sightings directly to the Anstead Bushland Reserve hotspot (L974746), adding to the cumulative species record for the site.

Meet Lucinda Brimblecombe: The Woman Who Gave Brookfield Its Name

Long before it became the suburb that it is today, Brookfield was a place of timber-cutting camps, bullock teams and early settlers carving out new lives in the wild scrub west of the river. Lucinda Brimblecombe (née Logan), matriarch of one of the pioneering families, is said to have given Brookfield its name in the late 1860s, as a nod perhaps to the lush creeks and rolling pastures that defined the landscape.

Her husband, James Brimblecombe, had purchased land in the district while still living in Maitland in the Hunter Valley, New South Wales. Upon relocating to Brisbane with his young family in 1869, he built a simple slab hut roofed with timber shingles. He called their home “Bannerfield”, and by August that year, Lucinda and their children had joined him.

They were among the first European families in the area, and the Brimblecombes quickly became known for their success in dairying and agriculture, selling butter and eggs to neighbours and passing trade. But their contribution went beyond the land—they played a key role in laying the foundations of Brookfield’s civic life. James was instrumental in the establishment of the first church and helped bring the first school to the fledgling community.

The name “Brookfield” began appearing in newspaper reports by 1871, when the area was praised for its fertility and settlement potential. That same year saw the opening of Brookfield State School. Just three years later, a teacher’s residence was built—further proof that the district was quickly evolving into a close-knit community.

Lucinda and James would spend the remainder of their lives in the area, living at Fairview, their second home, until Lucinda’s death in 1912. James followed three years later. They were laid to rest side-by-side under a prominent headstone in Brookfield Cemetery—a lasting symbol of their place in the district’s history.

Even after their passing, the Brimblecombe legacy endured. The land on which one of their early properties stood remained in family hands for an extraordinary 122 years. While the original slab home is long gone, a newer house built in 1932 for newlyweds George Harpur Jones Junior and Stella Dalrymple (née Walker) now stands on the site.

Brookfield’s story, like its name, flows from the resilience and vision of people like Lucinda Brimblecombe—a woman whose quiet contribution left a name, and a legacy, that still echoes through the valley today.

New Brookfield Reserve Playground Set to Open Soon After Upgrade

Work on the Brookfield Reserve playground upgrade is entering its final stages, with the new play space expected to be ready for the community soon as Brisbane City crews complete the finishing touches.


Read: New Playground on the Way for Brookfield Recreational Reserve


The upgrade at Brookfield Reserve on Boscombe Road involves replacing the existing playground and installing a new pathway. According to the BCC project page, construction began on 23 February 2026 and is scheduled to continue until 10 July 2026.

In an update shared on 26 June, Cr Greg Adermann said the project was progressing well, while noting that further weather delays could affect the completion date.

“Exciting news for Brookfield families! Work is progressing well on the Brookfield Reserve playground upgrade,” Cr Adermann said. He said that, provided there were no further weather delays, the playground was expected to be finished around Friday, 3 July.

“Our Parks team is working hard on the final touches, and we look forward to seeing the community enjoying this new space soon,” he said.

The project is listed as one of Brisbane City’s minor park upgrades. BCC’s project page states the works include replacing the existing playground and installing a new pathway. Brisbane City’s published construction schedule indicates the project is due to finish in July, subject to site conditions and construction progress.

The latest update from Cr Adermann suggests the project remains on track, with weather continuing to be the main factor that could affect the completion date.

Once works are complete, the upgraded playground and new pathway will open for community use. Until then, residents are encouraged to observe any temporary signage and barriers in place around the construction area.

The upgrade forms part of Brisbane City’s ongoing program of minor park improvements across the city, with Brookfield residents expected to soon benefit from renewed play facilities and improved park infrastructure.

The completed upgrade includes a new shelter, more comfortable seating, lighting, an extended concrete waiting area, a realigned footpath to improve accessibility, and an extended bus zone to allow buses to safely pull in and out of the stop. The project also completes upgrades at what had been the last uncovered inbound stop on the 443 and 444 routes.

Cr Greg Adermann announced the project’s completion on 1 July, saying funding had previously been secured to deliver the upgrade. He said the completed works include more comfortable seating, lighting, an extended concrete platform, a realigned footpath for better accessibility, and an extended bus zone to improve safety for buses entering and leaving the stop.

The new shelter follows earlier plans that were announced after requests from bus passengers in Bellbowrie for improved facilities at the stop.

Those plans included installing a shelter, extending the concrete waiting area to provide more space for passengers, realigning the footpath to connect with the waiting area, extending the bus zone and line marking to provide enough space for buses to safely pull in and out of the stop, and undertaking some tree trimming to make room for the shelter.

In addition to the shelter itself, the upgraded waiting area includes more space for passengers and a realigned footpath connecting to the waiting area.

Kenmore Among First Suburbs to Benefit as Kerbside Collection Funding Confirmed

Residents across the Pullenvale Ward, including Kenmore and Kenmore Hills, will be among the first in Brisbane to benefit from the annual kerbside collection service after funding was confirmed in the 2026-2027 Brisbane City Budget.


Read: 2026-2027 Budget Brings Upgrades Across Kenmore


For many households, the annual collection offers an opportunity to clear out bulky items that are too large for household bins, whether it’s an old lounge, broken washing machine or worn-out bicycle. The service provides residents with a convenient way to dispose of eligible bulky household items that cannot be placed in regular household bins.

According to Cr Greg Adermann, funding for the service was confirmed in the budget, allowing collections to proceed as scheduled across the ward.

For Kenmore and Kenmore Hills residents, the next kerbside collection is scheduled for the week commencing Monday, 3 August 2026. Items should be placed on the kerb no earlier than Saturday, 1 August.

What can you put out?

BCC accepts a wide range of bulky household items through its annual kerbside collection, including:

  • Bath and laundry tubs
  • Bicycles and sporting equipment
  • Carpet and rugs
  • Electronic waste, including televisions and computer monitors
  • Furniture
  • Small household appliances
  • White goods
  • Wood products less than 1.5 cubic metres

BCC asks residents to keep piles neat and ensure they do not block footpaths or roadways. Individual items must also be able to be safely lifted by two people, and the total pile must not exceed 2 cubic metres, roughly equivalent to a small box trailer.

If severe weather is forecast, residents should secure loose items.

Another important safety requirement is to remove doors from old refrigerators and cupboards before placing them out for collection.

Know the rules before collection day

While the service accepts many bulky household items, several materials are not eligible for collection. These include batteries, chemicals and oils, gas bottles, paint, tyres, bricks, concrete, dirt, garden waste, glass and mirrors, car parts, liquids, hazardous waste, lino or fibro sheeting that may contain asbestos, and general household rubbish or recycling.

BCC advises residents not to place out items that can instead be donated, sold or recycled. Residents who place unacceptable items out for collection may receive a notice requiring them to remove the material. If it is not removed within seven days after the scheduled collection period, illegal dumping fines may apply.

Planning ahead can also help avoid disappointment. BCC reminds residents to place items on the kerb no more than two days before their scheduled collection to help keep streets safe and tidy.

With funding now confirmed and Kenmore among the first suburbs on this year’s schedule, residents can prepare for the August collection by following BCC’s kerbside collection guidelines.

Kenmore Residents Demand Urgent Safety Changes at Akuna Park

Local families in Kenmore are calling for change at their beloved Akuna Park, arguing that a lack of basic safety fencing has turned a social space into a source of stress.

The movement gained momentum after a wave of feedback from families and pet owners highlighted how the current layout of the park is failing to keep everyone safe. Residents have raised concerns that the lack of proper barriers means dogs can bolt directly from parked vehicles into the mix, often leading to chaotic and aggressive interactions. 

It is not just the pets that are at risk, as there have been multiple reports of adults and children being chased while trying to enjoy the park, making many locals hesitant to return to what was once a favourite community spot.

Beyond the immediate safety risks of the open design, many residents feel the current space is poorly suited for the diversity of dogs using it. The main point of contention is the absence of designated zones, which forces smaller, more timid dogs into the same space as larger, boisterous ones. 

Akuna Park

Community members have pointed out that this lack of separation makes it nearly impossible for owners to confidently introduce their pets to the park. The consensus among those pushing for change is that a simple redesign—including a full fence and double-gated entries—would go a long way in calming the environment and preventing unnecessary conflict between animals.

The local community is now calling on the Brisbane City Council to take a practical approach to these issues. While residents are eager for a permanent solution like fencing and separate areas for different sized dogs, they are also being realistic about the site’s limitations.



If the current location proves too difficult to secure due to flood regulations or other technical hurdles, the community has requested that the Council explore relocating the off-leash area to a different part of the park. This would ensure that the neighbourhood retains a dedicated, safe, and inclusive space for its four-legged residents and their families for years to come.

2026-2027 Budget Brings Upgrades Across Kenmore

Residents across Kenmore and the communities nearby can expect a range of local improvements over the next year after Brisbane City Council unveiled its 2026–27 budget.



The projects include funding for new sporting facilities, upgrades to local roads, improved access around Akuna Oval and continued support for much-loved community events. They form part of Council’s broader suburbs-focused budget, which says more than 80 per cent of spending will be directed towards suburban communities.

New clubhouse planned for Kenmore Bears

One of the biggest local investments is funding towards replacing the Kenmore Bears Junior Australian Football Club clubhouse and changerooms at Akuna Oval.

Council has committed to contributing towards the project over the next two years, helping modernise facilities used by hundreds of young players, volunteers and visiting teams throughout the football season.

While Council has confirmed funding support, detailed designs and construction timelines are expected to be announced as the project progresses.

Accessible walkway to improve connections at Akuna Oval

Visitors to Cubberla Reserve will also benefit from a new 150-metre disability-compliant walkway linking the existing car park with the proposed University of Queensland Football Club facility.

The pathway is expected to improve accessibility for players, spectators and people with mobility needs on game days. Outside sporting events, it will also provide a safer walking connection between the Park and Ride car park and Hepworth Street for local residents using the popular walking circuit around Akuna Oval. The project aims to make the precinct easier to navigate while supporting its growing use as both a sporting and community recreation area.

Other nearby suburbs will also benefit from the budget’s park improvements, with playground upgrades planned for Booker Place Park in Bellbowrie and additional park improvements elsewhere in the ward.

Road upgrades planned across Brookfield, Upper Brookfield and Kenmore

Several local roads are included in Council’s suburban works program for the coming financial year.

Scheduled upgrades include:

  • Brookfield Road, Brookfield
  • Haven Road, Upper Brookfield
  • Marshall Lane, Kenmore
  • Hoana Place, Kenmore
  • St Baliol Street, Kenmore

Council has also allocated funding for road construction works on Lake Manchester Road.

The budget documents do not yet specify the exact scope or timing for each road project, with further details expected as works are scheduled throughout the year.

New community storage to support local volunteers

Community organisations in the western suburbs are also set to benefit from a new storage facility at Moggill District Sports Park.

The secure storage space is intended to house equipment regularly used by community groups, including marquees, barbecues and sporting equipment.

For many volunteer-run organisations, shared storage can reduce the need to keep equipment at private homes while making it easier to prepare for sporting fixtures, festivals and community events.



Funding continues for popular local events

The budget also includes ongoing support for several well-known community events across the western suburbs.

Funding has again been allocated for:

  • Brookfield Show
  • Brookie Bush Christmas
  • Kenmore Christmas Carols

These events attract thousands of residents each year and are organised largely through local volunteers, community groups and sponsors. Continued Council funding helps support their delivery while maintaining traditions that have become fixtures on the local calendar.

The budget brings a mix of practical improvements that touch everyday life. From upgraded sporting facilities and safer pedestrian access to smoother roads and continued support for community events, the projects aim to strengthen the local places where people live, play and gather.
