Last week, amendments to the Fire Service Act were passed in the Queensland Parliament. 👨‍🚒 The changes grant autonomy to our Rural Brigades, enabling them to use their initiative and respond more quickly in emergency events or disasters, even when communication channels are down. It is about giving the volunteers the flexibility they need to better serve the community. Well done, Lawrence Coomera Valley Rural Fire Brigade, you’re a legend👏 (Lawrence’s Amendment to the Fire Act)

Studio Village Community Centre Uniform Shuffle & Spring Markets were held today, with multiple schools selling school uniforms. Plus it was good to catch up with Carol from the Upper Coomera Lions Club. Carol is passionate about hearing Dogs for people with a hearing impairment. Time for a community roadside at Oxenford, Michigan Drive.

Massive effort today at Oxenford Bunnings BBQ. The boys from the Oxenford Men's Shed Inc have had a hectic morning and lunchtime period. Graham is overheating, trying to keep up with the demand.

The Kairali Brisbane is hosting their Kerala Boat Race at Damian Leeding Park. 13 teams across eastern Australia have converged upon the Gold Coast to win this year's trophy

Busy morning with the wonderful residents at Seachange Upper Coomera. Lots of questions and some very long answers, thank you, Vicki, for setting this up. The Gaven State School colour run, hosted by the awesome Gaven State School P&C Association and Naomi Fowler, Division 2, Gold Coast, took place this afternoon. Best wishes to all the parents who now have multi coloured children and car seats
