Naming of Laidley Recreational Reserve Grandstand
Nominations are now open for the naming of the Laidley Recreational Reserve Grandstand.
In response to a request from users of the local sports field, Lockyer Valley Regional Council is considering naming the grandstand and welcomes nominations from the community for consideration.
Deputy Mayor and Facilities and Recreation Portfolio Councillor Jason Cook said nominees must have a significant connection to the land that is now the Laidley Recreational Reserve or have made a significant contribution to the community.
“Having a name applied to a community building is a considerable honour and should reflect a notable contribution to the community and locality by an individual, group, or combination of people who are held in high regard by the community,” he said.
“Council will consider all nominations and make the final decision based on a range of factors including existing naming conventions, noting this is not a voting process.”
In order to be considered, nominees must meet the following criteria:
- Have had a significant connection (past or present) to the land that is now the Laidley Recreational Reserve and/or have made a significant contribution to the community.
- Have a good reputation across the community.
- Have actively demonstrated qualities of fairness, tolerance, honesty, integrity and community-mindedness.
- Agree to having the grandstand named in their honour. Where a nominee is deceased, their family’s permission may be sought.
Submissions open on Wednesday 13 April 2022 and close at 5pm on Wednesday 4 May 2022.
Community members can make a submission here, while printed copies are also available at Council’s Laidley and Gatton Customer Service Centres and libraries.
The outcome of this process will be determined in an upcoming Council Meeting and published in local newspapers.
