Boundary Vision

Boundary Road Application Lodged!

It was with a great sense of anticipation of God's goodness that RCRC lodged the "change of use" application for the Boundary Rd property with the Redland Shire Council last Wednesday morning. The deadline for the application under the existing regulations was the end of this week, so we have managed to get the town planners and architect to do their paperwork just in time.

As well as making application for the "change of use" from rural use to "a place of worship", we have also applied for another category which incorporates the use of the building and premises for other activities that include - conference and function rooms, sporting activities/venue, and other community events (eg meeting hall). Lodgement fees for this type of application are considerably more expensive than for the "place of worship" application, but it was deemed to be wise to apply under the current standard, rather than the new standard being released next week. This will then allow for a greater scope of use of the property and facilities.

The Boundary road program is starting to generate extra costs (e.g. the architects, town planners and applications) beyond the holding costs of the land. There are now new opportunities for you to target some special gifts and be a blessing to the church family.

We warmly encourage you to continue to give generously to this project. Our prayer is to be used for God’s kingdom purposes in the Redlands. This is a vision which extends significantly beyond the present and which includes future generations. We could not think of a more stimulating challenge than to commit to this future, in God’s grace, with you.

Please see Eddie Bos (bos@royalfoods.com.au, 0416 000 600) with your gift, and he will allocate it according to the appropriate financial needs.
