The Coomera River has continued to erode sections of the Oxenford Pony Club upstream from the John Muntz Bridge. The Pony Club has lost another 5 to 6 meters of land. Last week I did a speech in State Parliament highlighting the riverbank will continue to erode if reinforcements aren’t carried out to protect the land upstream. The river will slowly reclaim the land as it makes it way to Tamborine Oxenford Road.

Out in the electorate again updating resident on the proposed safety upgrades to the intersection of Maudsland Rd and Gaven Arterial Rd. It was a long campaign and the support from residents greatly assisted getting the funding approved for the upgrade.

Our crossing guards are doing the best job possible but they need your help by keeping to the speed limit, stopping when requested and looking out for children near the road. Children can be excited walking to and from school and forget their surroundings. Only today I witnessed a student run after his soccer ball near the roadway. This was followed by car tyres screeching as a Ute avoided him.

Update M1 Motorway Exit 57 I have received an email from Main Roads asking residents if they wish to provide feedback on the proposed concept design. Please ensure it is done by close of business Friday the 21st of June. You can email my office and I will forward on your comments to Main Roads. theodore@parliament.qld.gov.au Everyone knows my thoughts on the proposal, I want Main Roads to read the thoughts of residents.

One of my Question On Notice this week in parliament was regarding consultation *if any* by the Department of Main Roads with local businesses near M1 Motorway Exit 57.
