Putting corflutes to good use

  • Brian Lowe is an experienced journalist with a background in both broadcast and digital media. He has worked in both Australia and the United States, has hosted podcasts and has reported on a wide range of issues during his career.

A Logan City not-for-profit business is hoping to get hold of corflutes from last weekend’s election to use in a conservation project.

Substation33, based in Kingston, wants to use the corflutes as tree protectors as part of a strategy to slow the flow of water in creeks that feed into the Logan River.

As the corflutes are all the property of the various political parties that contested the election, Substation33 requires permission from the parties to use their signs.

The not-for-profit has designed and developed a number of products for commercial, social and educational purposes including flooded road smart warning signs, electric ‘e-bikes’, 3D printers and a vertical garden monitoring system among other things.
