Busy day out in the electorate, time for my regular community roadside, this time I’m at Pacific Pines near Coles.

A few people who stopped at the roadside expressed their concerns about further development in the Coomera River Valley.

Morning deliveries of Neighbourhood Watch Street Signs, Nicole one of our local coordinators seemed very happy, she has been after them for years. Happy as a kid in a candy store

Quick chat with our lovely crossing guards. Please remember, our crossing guards are trying to do a good job and keep our children safe, but texting on your mobile phones whilst driving isn’t the best at anytime, especially in a school zone. Plus we all know it’s illegal. $391 and 3 points plus double demerit points for a second offence within 12 months of the first.

Our new resource centre at Gaven State School is coming together nicely. This has been a long project in the making with the school saving its pennies and applying for grants. As with most schools, Gaven is growing and it needs the current resource centre to be converted into a classroom.

Congratulations to all the new Aussies at today Citizenship Ceremony at Bundall today. Channel 9’s Bruce Page was todays master of ceremony. We had new citizens from over 40 different countries, not a bad effort.
