A Jimboomba community leader who died 18 months ago has been recognised with a plaque at Rotary Park.
The plaque is mounted on a large piece of sandstone and acknowledge the contribution Stan Wells made to the Jimboomba community.
Mr Wells, 78, was the area coordinator of Jimboomba Neighbourhood Watch and belonged to the organisation for 17 years.
Jimboomba Neighbourhood Watch secretary Clive Shield, said Stan was a people person, was passionate about personal and community safety and was not afraid to stand up for the rights of our local citizens.
“Stan was also an active and vocal member of the Logan Country Safe City group,” he said.
“Further to this, both Stan and his late wife Maureen were passionate animal carers and spent much of their own time and resources in caring for displaced animals, particularly dogs and cats.”
Senior sergeant Peter Waugh reflected on Stan’s standing within the community and with local police.
“Small in stature, big in fight, a protector to man and beast, a friend to the police and a mate of mine,” Senior Sergeant Waugh said.
Jimboomba Neighbourhood Watch meets four times a year on the first Thursday of the month.
Residents are invited to attend to raise issues related to personal and community safety.
