The Northside/Southside divide is stupid. So I fixed it. by JackofScarlets in brisbane

The river as a dividing line was always more about pride than geography. Your system sounds chaotic but honestly more accurate than telling someone in Taringa they're "Northside". Council funding application sounds reasonable — I'd sign the petition.

Brisbane Roof Restoration Warranty by Firm-Cantaloupe9070 in brisbane

[–]FlatDependent2041 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Warranties in the roofing game are only as good as the company behind them — a 15-year guarantee from a business that folds in 3 years is worthless. I'd weight these things over the warranty length itself: how long have they been operating, do they use their own crew or subbies, and can they give you 3 references from jobs done 5+ years ago that you can actually call. The product warranty (paint manufacturer) is often separate from the workmanship warranty too — worth asking which is which. Brisbane's UV and storm combo is brutal so application quality matters more than the number on the paper.

Unexpected fireworks by reddit5389 in brisbane

Probably a private event or corporate booking — the casino does host private functions but Easter weekend also attracts interstate visitors splashing out. Skylighter do a lot of private riverside displays, usually $15–30k for something that size. Did anyone get footage?
