Wet day hitting the pavement updating residents on the latest correspondence from the Minister for Main Roads about Charlies Crossing intersection. Main roads will be implementing a turn right lane into Charlies Crossing and a solution to the car parking situation.

Coomera Valley Rotary club is cooking snags at Oxenford Bunnings today. Please come down and support them as all funds raised go into community projects. They are here until 3 pm.

It has been a long time coming but works are scheduled to begin mid 2021 and continue until late 2021. The upgrade will see the old culverts replaced with a higher and wider culvert structure. The road will be raised about 1.5 metres and eight metres wider over Howard Creek. The intersections of Lanes Road and Colin Meagher Road will also be improved with dedicated turning lanes.

It has been a tough time for many small businesses and the travel industry has suffered terribly. We have a choice. Book your weekend away or next adventure in Queensland through a local travel agent that employs Australians and keeps the profits here. Alternatively, you can book your holiday on an online travel or hotel booking website that is foreign-owned, profits go overseas and employ foreigners.
