Canon Hill Community Plans 2025 End of Summer Fundraiser

Cannon Hill residents are preparing for a community-wide End of Summer Party at Regent Park on Friday, 4 April 2025. The party aims to raise funds for local educational and community organisations.



The event, timed to coincide with the conclusion of the first school term, will support the Cannon Hill State School Parents and Citizens Association, Cannon Hill Kindergarten, YMCA Cannon Hill Community Centre, and St Oliver Plunkett Primary School.

Anticipated Daytime Festivities and Entertainment

From 3:00 pm to 6:30 pm, Regent Park is expected to come alive with various activities. Organisers are planning live musical performances to provide a festive atmosphere. Children and families can look forward to face painting and interactive games such as pluck-a-fish. Market stalls offer diverse goods, while food trucks cater to various culinary preferences.

A bar will serve refreshments, and various performances will entertain attendees throughout the afternoon. The intent is to create a welcoming and engaging environment for all ages.

Planned Evening Socialising

The event will transition into a more relaxed phase as the day progresses. From 6:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., attendees can socialise and enjoy the remaining festivities. Live music will continue, providing a background for the evening. This period will allow community members to connect and celebrate the end of the first school term.



Community Support and Fundraising Goals

The funds generated from the 2025 End of Summer Party will be distributed among the four beneficiary organisations. These organisations provide essential educational and recreational services within the Cannon Hill community. Organisers are working to encourage strong local participation and foster a sense of community.

They have expressed their anticipation of a successful event and are preparing to thank all attendees and volunteers for their contributions.

Beefy’s Pies Make Triumphant Return to Cannon Hill

Pie emergency averted! No more pie-less nights. Race down to Cannon Hill and grab a piece of that Beefy’s magic. After departing the city in 2021, the iconic brand has reopened its doors at its original Wynnum Road.



The move comes after significant demand from Brisbane residents eager to once again indulge in Beefy’s famous pastries.

Jason Lyons, General Manager of Operations, expressed the company’s excitement at re-establishing a presence in Brisbane. He acknowledged the strong community support and the desire for Beefy’s to return to Cannon Hill.  The availability of their former site presented a perfect opportunity to reconnect with their loyal customer base in the area.

Established in 1997 at Aussie World on the Sunshine Coast, Beefy’s has become a Queensland institution.  Recently acquired by the Retail Food Group, which also owns Gloria Jeans and Donut King, the brand is poised for further growth.

The new Cannon Hill store is now open. It offers a delectable range of award-winning steak pies, sausage rolls, and sweet treats. Coffee lovers can also enjoy Di Bella coffee, and those with dietary restrictions will appreciate the Coeliac Australia-endorsed gluten-free options.

Beefy’s is hosting a special event on Friday, October 25th to celebrate the grand opening. Customers can enjoy “buy one get one free” Signature Steak Pies all day, including gluten-free varieties.

This return to Brisbane marks an exciting new chapter for Beefy’s, promising delicious pies and strong community engagement.
