Welcome to the website of the Beaudesert Community Arts and Information Centre. The aim of our centre is firstly to provide a showcase for local art and craft. Amongst our talented contributors are painters, sculptors, textile artists, woodworkers, writers, musicians, paper artists and food providores. As most of our contributors also man the centre from time to time, you will meet them when you come to visit.
We also provide information for visitors to the area, and it is our staff members' personal extensive knowledge which helps people who come here from all parts of the world to enjoy our special region.
The centre is also a meeting place for community groups.
On the website you'll find out what's happening in the area, from our calendar and from our "What's on" page. There'll also be reports on recent events.

Opening of new Market Pathway
Mick, Jenny and Hilary cut the ribbon and declared the new Market Pathway open!
Our new pathway was officially unveiled at yesterday's Beaudesert market. For the past 22 years Jenny and Mick Young have held the Beaudesert markets in Westerman Park, and these have a fine reputation as the best markets in the area.
The Market Pathway has been funded by the income from the market stallholder payments received by Mick and Jenny, who have very generously passed the funds on to the Beaudesert Community Arts and Information Centre for more than two decades.
As a consequence we have been able to fund the construction of the Market Pathway, which is much appreciated by both stallholders and customers.
We thank the Scenic Rim Council for their cooperation and approval.We also thank Stuart Hall for his design input and Hilary Rains for her determination to have the pathway built. Thanks also to Franklin Constructions and their contractors, who worked very hard in the first week of August to ensure the path was ready for this September market.
This Market Pathway will be a long-lasting reminder to the community of the generosity of Mick and Jenny Young.

Speed Restrictions on Lakes Maroon and Moogerah
SEQ Water has gazetted three areas, one on Moogerah Dam and two on Maroon Dam, as 6 knot areas, to improve water safety. The plans here indicate the locations of the slow speed areas.
The gazetted areas were approved by Maritime Safety Queensland, and are a result of community consultation by Queensland Boating and Fisheries.
The three areas were identified for a number of reasons, including their high level of use for activities such as kayaking and fishing, as well as the presence of vertical rock walls and submerged or standing timber.
Please respect these speed restrictions to allow everyone to use these wonderful recreation facilities safely. For more information contact the SEQWater recreation team at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..
