My letter to the Minister for Main Roads and Minister for Natural Resources regarding John Muntz Bridge and Coomera River.

Onsite with some of the best Geomorphologists in the business to discuss ways to limit riverbank erosion from the Oxenford Pony Club to the John Muntz Bridge.

It was a great team effort by Coomera River Catchment Group today planting a few hundred trees along the Oxenford side of the Coomera River. The river bank has seen its fair share of erosion from the recent floods but most of the small trees previously planted have held up well.

This morning, I contacted the Minister for State Development and Natural Resources to highlight the desperate need to re-enforce the river bank from the Oxenford Pony Club to the John Muntz Bridge. In the recent flood event we lost a huge amount of land to the Coomera River including the connection road next to the John Muntz Bridge.

Today we witnessed the best part of what it means to be human. Giving up your time and donating equipment to help those in need. No words can ever describe the gratitude in the eyes of residents who have lost everything. Thank you.
