E-Scam Community Forum

Thanks to all Baysiders who recently attended my E-Scam Community Forum.

Presented by Brisbane Bayside Crime Stoppers, this informative event provided our local community with information on the latest scams targeting Queenslanders. The forum gave valuable tips and tools to protect ourselves and our personal information, especially online.

From internet, mobile banking and phishing frauds using smartphones, tablets and other mobile devices, the key to combating these sorts of online scams is knowing what threats exist and taking easy steps to beat them.

50 Cent Fares from August 5

The Queensland Government understands that many Baysiders are struggling financially. That’s why we are working hard to reduce the cost of living.

From August 5, the cost of Translink public transport services across Queensland will be slashed to only 50 cents, no matter where you live or how far you travel.

Taking pressure off household budgets, as well as easing traffic congestion, is one of our key priorities. Whether you are a student catching public transport to get to school or an office worker heading into the City, all Baysiders will pay only 50 cents per trip.

This initiative is just one of many cost of living relief measures we are delivering for Bayside families.


Massive $1300 Bill Relief

Every Baysider will see $1300 slashed from their energy bill, with $1000 upfront from the Queensland Government and an additional $300 from the Federal Government.

It means many Baysiders may not have to pay a cent for their energy bills until March 2025.

Additionally, Bayside small businesses will receive $650 off their bill.

Of course, this financial help to Baysiders is only possible because we’re making multinational mining companies pay their fair share and because we kept energy assets in public hands.


20% off your Car Rego

More good news for Baysiders. The Queensland Government is taking 20% off your car and ute rego from August 5. For most, this means a saving of $85 on a standard four-cylinder car.

This reduction will apply to the registration fee and the traffic improvement fee for all light vehicles, including trailers, regardless of whether they are for personal or commercial purposes.

This new initiative is in addition to a freeze on motor vehicle registration fees in 2024-2025. It’s just another way we are helping to reduce the cost of living for Baysiders.
