SPRINGBROOK LOCALe continues the tradition of publication involving matters concerning local affairs by the SPRINGBROOK/WUNBURRA PROGRESS ASSOCIATION INCORPORATED that began with the SPRINGBROOK LOCAL in 1980-81. It is an initiative of the Springbrook/Wunburra Progress Association Incorporated that has been an active community group on this beautiful plateau for over thirty years. Its aim is to care for Springbrook. During this period, this Association has involved itself in the maintenance and preservation of this unique part of the world. The efforts of this Association have seen numerous development proposals challenged when these threaten the qualities that make Springbrook special. This e-publication continues this work and seeks to keep those interested in the future of Springbrook informed with accurate, unbiased information and rational analysis and debate.
