One of the most sought-after postcodes – New Farm’s 4005 post code – could soon be shared with Brisbane's newest suburb of Teneriffe. Councillor David Hinchliffe (Central Ward) said he was pleased that Australia Post was considering the move. “The suburb recently acquired its own suburb status and major signs have been installed identifying suburban boundaries.”
“Currently Teneriffe is lumped in with Newstead, Bowen Hills and Fortitude Valley sharing the 4006 postcode while New Farm has had 4005 to itself.
“Both 4006 and 4005 mail go through the same facility in Albion, so even if people don’t use the new code, mail will still get through. Australia Post will run ads, and also distribute to the affected area.”
Too popular for its own good?
The fish sculpture in the revamped Chinatown Mall might be a great piece of art, but its attraction to children could lead to an injury. Local councillor David Hinchliffe took this recent photo of children clamouring over the sculpture on Chinatown and sent it to Lord Mayor Campbell Newman.
In an accompanying email the councillor wrote: “I have raised this issue before. Can you please advise what can be done to minimise broken limbs, etc, if any of these children fall?”
