Pictures of a kookaburra, a family caf\u00e9 visit and two dogs exploring nature have earned three young New Beith artists prizes while delivering $4500 to community organisations.<\/p>\n
Charles Broadhurst-Hill, 9, James Undery, 6, and Matilda Smith, 11, each received a $500 prize in Frasers Property Australia\u2019s Round Mountain postcard competition.<\/p>\n
Their selected charities received $1500 each, with $3000 going to Greenbank Cricket Club and $1500 to Women\u2019s Legal Service Queensland.<\/p>\n
Greenbank Cricket Club president Shane Harris said the club, which caters for up to 200 players, would use its share to strengthen its junior and female programs.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re so grateful for this funding that will allow us to buy more equipment for our juniors and offer free registration for any girls who want to join the club to keep the female program growing in the area,\u201d Mr Harris said.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt all goes back into the community in one way or another, by bringing people together through sport and offering a place to make connections.\u201d<\/p>\n
Charles drew a kookaburra representing New Beith\u2019s wildlife, James depicted an ice-cream and hot chocolate at ONO Caf\u00e9 and Flowers, and Matilda portrayed her dogs on a nature walk.<\/p>\n
Frasers Property Queensland general manager Scott Ullman said the entries highlighted the importance of family, nature and local landmarks.<\/p>\n
\u201cThese are the themes we want to nurture as Round Mountain continues to take shape,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey offer a useful guide not just in terms of the physical places we create, but also the kind of lifestyle and sense of belonging we want to support.\u201d<\/p>\n
Economic Development Queensland has approved 414 lots across two applications at Round Mountain, while Frasers\u2019 broader 10-year masterplan proposes about 2100 homes.<\/p>\n
The winning artworks are on display at the Round Mountain sales centre.<\/p>\n
