Brisbane Bullets Back to Brisbane Entertainment Centre, Aim for New Heights with Major Move

In a bid to accommodate their growing fan base and elevate the game-day experience, the Brisbane Bullets are returning to the Brisbane Entertainment Centre in Boondall for the upcoming NBL25 season.

After regularly selling out the smaller Nissan Arena last season, the move to the 10,500-seat BEC marks a significant step forward for the franchise, according to Bullets CEO Malcolm Watts.

He says the decision enables the club to cater to the booming popularity of basketball in South East Queensland and enhance all aspects of the game presentation.

With the shift to the larger venue, the Bullets are aiming to deliver an NBA-style product, complete with enhanced infrastructure and amenities for fans. Watts emphasises the club’s commitment to revamping the Entertainment Centre to match the experience of other top NBL venues, promising an elevated game presentation and increased seating, premium hospitality, and parking options.

Brisbane Bullets reconnect with history, build for the future

The return to the BEC also holds a sense of nostalgia for the Bullets, who won their most recent NBL championships in 2007 and 1987 at the iconic venue.

Coach Justin Schueller, in his first season at the helm, is thrilled by the prospect of reviving the team’s winning tradition at the arena. He encourages fans to transform the venue into a fortress and support the team’s pursuit of another championship banner.

Beyond the on-court experience, the Bullets are also investing in their long-term future. Construction is underway on a purpose-built High Performance Centre in South Brisbane, which will provide elite training facilities, treatment rooms, offices, and a merchandise store, all under one roof.

According to Watts, having a dedicated home base will be a game-changer for the club, providing a significant platform for on-court and off-court success.

Ready for the next chapter in our storied history.

The centre’s central location is expected to boost the club’s brand presence and exposure, while also strengthening its ties to the local basketball community through development programs and potential junior academies.

After a disappointing 2022–23 campaign, the Bullets showed signs of life last season, finishing 13-15 and narrowly missing the playoffs via tiebreaker. With Schueller—regarded as one of Aussie hoops’ most promising young minds—as head coach and the additions of a dedicated training facility and a larger home venue, the franchise is well-positioned to continue its rebuilding process and reclaim its place among the NBL’s elite.

Bridgeman Downs Man Awarded $3K Rheem Apprentice Plumber Grant

Congratulations to Flynn Testa, a 20-year-old apprentice plumber from Bridgeman Downs, one of the lucky recipients of a Rheem Apprentice Plumber Grant.

Now in his second year as an apprentice, Flynn was practically born with a wrench in his hand. With his father running a successful plumbing, draining, and gasfitting business, and his mother working alongside him, plumbing runs deep in the Testa family.

“I was born and bred into the plumbing industry,” Flynn says. “It felt like the best fit for me.”

Growing up, Flynn attended Aspley State High School, where traditional classroom learning didn’t quite click for him. Instead, he found his passion in plumbing, a hands-on, problem-solving career. This led him to start a school-based apprenticeship in Year 12.

Learning the Ropes

Flynn’s typical day as an apprentice is anything but typical. In his early days, he focused on mastering the use of various tools and plumbing fittings and organizing the work vehicle. A year later, he’s now proficient in installing valves and components for hot water units, a specialty of his father’s company, which installs, services, and repairs solar heat pumps and electric gas hot water systems.

“Most of my day-to-day activities involve hot water, and I feel the most confident in this area,” Flynn explains.

His training is a mix of on-the-job experience and technical knowledge gained from TAFE, where he attends one day a week. He also benefits from one-on-one tutoring for the more theoretical aspects of the trade.

Ambitions and Aspirations

Flynn’s ambitions are as clear as the water flowing through the pipes he works on. He aims to excel in his apprenticeship and become a highly skilled tradesperson known for quality workmanship.

“I want to deliver quality workmanship and have a reputation for outstanding work that not only meets but surpasses expectations,” Flynn says.

He also hopes to inspire and educate future generations, particularly school leavers considering a career in plumbing.

Advice to Aspiring Tradespeople

Flynn has some sage advice for students in Years 10, 11, and 12 contemplating their future careers.

“Plumbing is a solid, rewarding, and fulfilling lifelong career,” he says. “If you love hands-on and practical work, get into it as soon as you can. In Year 10, you can do work experience to determine if it’s something you want to pursue in the future. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain.”

The Rheem Apprentice Plumber Grant

The Rheem Apprentice Plumber Grants have doubled the number of grants this year, allowing 20 apprentices to share in $60,000. With over 1,000 applications submitted, the independent judging panel was impressed with the high calibre and diversity of the submissions. Each recipient receives $2,000 to assist with TAFE/RTO fees, textbooks, and an additional $1,000 tool voucher to help build their all-important trade toolbox, totalling $3,000.

Flynn is among the 20 recipients recognised for their dedication and hard work in the plumbing industry. With his strong family background in plumbing, hands-on experience, and passion for the trade, Flynn is well on his way to making a significant impact in the plumbing industry.

Bridgeman Downs Magician Josh Norbido Brings Wonder to Hometown

Josh Norbido is different from your average magician. With accolades from celebrities and technical consulting roles for Hollywood movies, he has carved out a niche as one of the most captivating magicians in Australia.

The high praises he received from Nicole Scherzinger and Chef Manu Feildel is just the tip of the iceberg for a man whose technical prowess with a deck of cards earned him a consulting role for Cate Blanchett in preparation for her role in Ocean’s 8. Additionally, he was the lead card shuffling consultant for Russell Crowe’s 2022 movie Poker Face.

First Memory of Magic

“My first ever memory of magic was witnessing a thumb being pulled off at the age of six. It was mind-blowing,” Josh recalls. This childhood wonder sparked a lifelong passion for magic.

Go-to Magic Moment

For Josh, the most enchanting moments are those that happen in the spectator’s own hands. “It’s always the magic that happens in the spectator’s very own hands,” he says, highlighting his performances’ personal and intimate nature.

Magic Inspirations

Josh draws inspiration from some of the greatest names in magic, including David Blaine, Asi Wind, Steve Cohen, and France’s David Stone.

Why People Love Magic

According to Josh, “The older we get, the less magical the world becomes. Magic is one of the few things left that can still give people the true feeling of wonder.” This belief underscores his dedication to his craft and his desire to bring joy and amazement to his audiences.

Beyond the Spotlight

Favorite Animal, Food, Drink: “Dogs 4 life. Shepherd’s Pie, Southern Comfort & Coke,” Josh reveals, showcasing his down-to-earth and relatable side.

Most Embarrassing Moment

Even seasoned performers have their mishaps. Josh recalls, “Being on stage and having a raw egg break in my jacket pocket with 40 minutes of the show still to go.” Such moments add a layer of humility to his charismatic persona.

Alternate Career Path

If he weren’t a world-famous magician, Josh envisions himself as a quirky personal trainer, combining his love for fitness with his unique personality.

Theatre of Magic

In three words, Josh describes his show, Theatre of Magic, as “Surprise, Happiness, Laughter.” This trifecta of emotions is what he aims to deliver in every performance.

Bridgeman Downs magician Josh Norbido still feels on cloud nine as his dreams finally come true, helping weave a new chapter in Brisbane’s entertainment story. “This format of magic doesn’t exist anywhere else in Queensland, so being able to bring this to the city I’ve grown up in is a dream come true,” Norbido said.

Josh Norbido’s journey from a fascinated six-year-old to a world-renowned magician is a testament to his dedication and passion for the art of magic. With Theatre of Magic, he continues to enchant and amaze, ensuring that the magic never fades from our lives.

A New Home for Magic

Remembering the Frenzied Opening of the Groundbreaking Pick ’n Pay Hypermarket in Aspley

Photo Credit: Reddit

It was a seminal moment in Brisbane’s retail history; the chaotic day that transformed sleepy Aspley into an unlikely shopping battlefield. Nearly four decades later, memories of the unprecedented pandemonium on 7 November 1984, when the city’s first Pick ‘n Pay Hypermarket opened, remain vivid.

On that fateful day, a mammoth crowd of 25,000 frenzied shoppers descended, flooding Australia’s first-ever hypermarket in an unbelievable $1 million spending spree.

Pick 'n Pay Hypermarket in Aspley — *Photo Credit: Hypermarket Heroes*

Birth of a Shopping Phenomenon

Imported from South Africa in a joint venture with JBL Investments, the 25,500 square metre megaplex was a revolutionary one-stop shop. It boasted a staggering 82% occupied by Pick ‘n Pay grocery aisles with 78 checkouts, complemented by 40 specialty stores and parking for 1,800 cars.

Yet despite its wildly successful Aspley debut, the hypermarket remained the only Pick ‘n Pay outpost in Australia. Union opposition to South Africa’s apartheid regime quashed plans for nine additional locations nationwide, including a second store in Melbourne.

To commemorate the opening, Pick ’n Pay annually hosted birthday parties for children born on the 7th of November, 1984, until 1995, when the brand was sold to Coles-Myer.

The property changed hands again in 2001, selling to You Feng for $62.65 million. In 2007, plans to rebrand it as a Coles SuperCentre were delayed due to the pending sale of the Coles Group. However, it ultimately transitioned into a Coles Supermarket and Kmart Discount Department Store by late 2012. An Aldi store also joined the complex around this time.

An Unlikely Retail Powerhouse

The hypermarket’s advent was merely the latest in a series of transformations for unassuming Aspley. From its agricultural roots providing Brisbane’s fresh produce, the suburb blossomed into an elite residential enclave in the 1960s.

Aspley’s evolution from rural hamlet to retail juggernaut was solidified in 2016 with a $50 million revamp. This welcomed Woolworths and Aldi into the now-renamed Aspley Hypermarket shopping center.

Unmatched Opening Day Pandemonium

While the suburban hub has continued its metamorphosis, nothing quite tops the unmatched pandemonium of that pioneering 1984 launch.

Reminiscing about the chaotic opening, longtime residents’ anecdotes paint a vivid picture:

“As kids, we used to sing: ‘Pick ‘n Pay Hypermarket, wipe your boogers on the carpet,'” DannyR from Reddit said.

For many, the hypermarket’s striking architecture is inextricably linked to childhood memories.

“So much of my childhood is wrapped up in that one photo,” Dryopithecinie said. “Was in a minor accident just behind this sign turning right up Maundrell Tce from Albany Creek Rd. Had a bank account at BoQ at Aspley Fountain top left. Still go to Fish On Line that now exists in place of that vacant lot that’s fenced off (right of Maccas sign). Had a few catchups with friends at the Coffee Club in the same lot. So many parties at the Aspley Maccas. Would buy Fags (not Fads!) at George’s which used to be in the shops to the left. Worked in a dodgy sports clothing store in the HyperHole. Went to primary school up the road.”

Shortly before the Pick n’ Pay shuttered permanently in late 2012, a modest memory board was put up near the service desk. The former center management graciously provided me with copies of these photographs shortly after the transition to a Coles and Kmart.

Whilst Aspley has emerged as an unlikely retail powerhouse, the pandemonium of that November day remains unmatched in Brisbane’s shopping folklore. It was a watershed moment that heralded a new era, cementing the hypermarket’s place in Australian purchasing patterns.
