First time in ten years during a Community Roadside a local has asked me if I could get him a Lions Christmas Cake. Lucky for me I know a few people, who know a few other people, who know a few more people. I have known Ray for many years, he regularly stops for a chat. (Oh yes I have made a phone call and secured him a Lions Christmas cake.)

Community Roadside Saturday at Helensvale outside the Helensvale Senior Citizens hall Discovery Drive Helensvale.

Queensland Budget 2022, a quick synopsis. The State Government has allocated $20 million for early works for the proposed Coomera Hospital. Total cost of the hospital is around $1.4 billion. No allocation of forward expenditure to cover the $1.4 billion.

It is Budget day for the Queensland State Government Today we find out how the State Government is going to spend around $65 billion over the next year. Let’s see if they will actually fund projects or push them out to the distant future. We are fighting for for a new health precinct for the North Gold Coast to take the pressure off an over burdened health system. We need to fast track a new Hospital with an emergency department with over night beds for the Northern Gold Coast

A couple highlights of the weekend. Today Helensvale Lions celebrated 40 years of dedicated service to our local community. Stewart Proud is the last of the founding members in the club and over the years he has seen many changes to our district.
